who do we remove deceased person from deed

Hi jerupert,

If the brother has a life estate right on the concerned property, then he will be able to stay in that property until death. He will have to sign a deed and remove his life estate rights from that property.

Thanks

Mother lives and collects rent on farm land that was granted by life estate. property was transfered to brother in law , my wife and her sister. the brother in law is now deceased. The deed is in the name of all three. Since brother in law is deceased how is him name removed and can it be completed before the death of the mother?

Your wife and her sister will have to file an affidavit of heirship and get the property transferred in their name. This will help them in removing your deceased brother-in-law's name from the property. As far as I know, this can be done before your mother's death. However, you may even consult a real estate attorney and take his help in this regard.
