My ex husband and I purchased property together. We still retained the property after our divorce. My ex husband passed away. His son tells me he don't want any part of the property. What do I need to do to get the property in my name only.
Hi ytarplin,
Did your ex-husband leave back a will? If yes, then the property will be divided as per the will after the probate is complete. If he hasn't left a will, then you will have to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and get the deed transferred in your name. However, as you are divorced, just check out with your attorney if an affidavit of heirship is possible in this case.
Thanks
