My condo has been paid for since 2004. My husband passed away in 1997. I was wondering if the Deed of Trust is the final Deed for a homeowner or is there a final Deed. I want to sell the condo, but I don't know if there is a final Deed. I know I need his Death Certificate, which I have. (Both our names are on the Deed of Trust)
Welcome csims,
As the loan is paid in full, you must have received a lien release certificate from the lender. This will help you prove that the property is free and clear. As far as the name on the property deed is concerned, you can file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in your name. Thus, you would be able to sell off the property.
