I recently found out that the house my father lived in his entire life is still in his grandmothers name. She passed away long ago, his mother passed away in the late 70's and he passed away in 2002. There is no will as far as I know. However, his mothers sister (My Great Aunt) is still living and she is 92 years old. My Great aunt has no children and is in good health. She keeps the taxes on the house paid up and has stated to me that IF it were possible she would want me to have the house. I myself have no brothers nor sisters and was wondering if a simple Quitclaim deed solve this problem? AND given this particular situation would the quitclaim be valid? I've also heard about filing Affidavit of Heirship..but I was wondering if the Quitclaim Deed was still the best option in this situation.
Hi Jane,
I think your sister should go for an affidavit of heirship in order to remove her deceased husband from the property deed. It will be better if your sister can contact an attorney and take his help in this regard.

I am trying to purchase some land and and the owners own 1 acre and there is 10 other acers that they have paid the land taxes on for 50 yrs. When we went to purchase the land we found out that they only had the deed for 1 acre. My question is can we buy the property from them they seem to think so since they have paid the taxes for long. Thank you

My Father and mother both passed away recently and I have one brother. We want to transfer the house (in father's name and paid off) to our names. There was no will. Under what circumstances can we use an Heirship Affidavit to transfer?
Hi Olivia,
As your father has not left a will and is also deceased, you can contact the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in your name.
