Our deed is in joint ownership and since my husband passed away I have been advised to transfer the deed into the living trust. This is to avoid any problems for my children should something happen to me. The property is free and clear from any debt obligation. Since I have a will and living trust I don't understand why I need to transfer the property to another name.
Hi Guest,
You can file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and transfer the property solely in your name. If the property is included in your will, then your children will have to probate the will after your death. After the probate is complete, the property would be equally divided amongst them.
Thanks
