My husband's mother passed away about five years ago. She left no will stating the house was to be left to my husband but she did leave a letter stating this. My husbands father is still living and knows that was what she wanted so he had my husband and I get paperwork together to get the deed into our name. He has four siblings. All stated they would sign but now one of them is giving us a hard time. We have been the ones fixing the house, and paying the taxes all these years. Do we need them all to sign it over to us? Or is there something we can do to prove we have been keeping up with the house all these years?
Hi crystalg!
Welcome to forums!
In order to get the property transferred in your husband's name, he needs to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office. In order to do so, your husband will have to get a no objection letter from his other siblings. If one of the siblings is not ready for it, then your husband will not be able to transfer the property in his name.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
