How do I remove name of deceased from a deed
Did the deceased person leave back a will? If not, then you will have to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in your name. If the deceased person has left a will, then it needs to be probated. Once the probate is complete, the property would be divided accordingly as per the will.
My brother in law and I had a house buildt for investment. In Oct. 2006 he passed away. I need to have his name removed so that I can file homestead exemption. How can this be done?
Hi Russ!
Welcome to forums!
If your brother-in-law had a will, then the property would be divided according to it. If not, then you'll have to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in your name. However, you should note that in most of the states, a second home or an investment property does not qualify for a homestead.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
