My mom passed, how do I transfer home to my name?

Posted on: 10th Jun, 2010 07:53 am
My mom passed away in GA. She left a will with me as beneficiary. We did a quitclaim deed to put me on the deed with her. I want to know, as executor, can I quitclaim it to me? How do I transfer title so when I sell I will have clear and free title to the house? And most importantly, can her creditors put a lien on the house? Thank you
three ways of resolving your question.

You may call or go to the land records office of the county the property is located and ask your questions. They should pull some preliminary information by looking up some info from county and state records to verify the current deed.

You may call a local title company who may also give guidance by verifying the current deed. they should be well versed on finding the above info online.

Or you may talk with a local realtor about listing the property. they should verify your qualification to sign contracts to sell that property.

Can her creditors put liens on the house? Depends on type of lien. taxes and govt liens, yes. financing secured against the property, yes.

Hi Guest,

You will have to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office in order to get the property transferred in your name.
