Lost deed.

We have been buying a piece of property for 10 years, and now it is paid off. The owner died, the daughter who is her executor is unable to find the deed, so what should she or we do to get the property changed over into our name?

Even the owner is dead,he might have left some will so that the property will be transferred to his heirs and then to you.Or else if there is no will property can be transferred to his heirs through court order.
You might be having some sort of deed/receipt as you are paying the money for last 10 years.
keep in touch...........

Hi Patricia!

Welcome to forums!

You or the owner's daughter can get in touch with the county recorder's office and get a duplicate copy of the deed. Then the daughter can get the property transferred in her name first and then transfer it to you with the help of a quit claim deed. Also, you can take the help of a real estate attorney in this regard and resolve the matter.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
