Hi, My mom passed away in May 07 and the house we live in is still in her name. I am execut. of her estate and need to put my name on the deed to our house. No will and in NYS. which is the way to do this - quitclaim or warranty? No other interested parties and no mortgage. Thanks in advance
Hi kylaleat,
Sorry to hear about your mother.
I think as you have no will so the distribution of the property will be done as per laws of intestate succession applicable in your state. Better consult an attorney and take necessary stapes to transfer the ownership to your name.
Best of luck,
Larry

Hello Kylaleat,
A quit claim or a warranty deed is not possible as the grantor of the property i.e. your mother has already passed away. These documents need the signature of the grantor.
Even I agree with Larry. If there is no will, then the property will be distributed according to the intestate laws of the state.

Did the estate go through probate?
