I have been assigned as Personal Representative to a friends estate. She just re-financed her mortgage and is being treated by Hospice. She is currently "in her death bed" and is unable to communicate. Her wishes were to put her nephew on the title/deed. The current will designated an individual that has passed away who is the mother of her nephew. How can this be done in this situation? Her house is in PA and your will was done in MD.
Hi minidachs,
"Her wishes were to put her nephew on the title/deed. The current will designated an individual that has passed away who is the mother of her nephew."
Who is the current owner of the property? Is your friend still on the title? If she is, she can sign a quit claim deed or a warranty deed and add he nephew to the title. If she leaves a will in her nephew's name, the title will be transferred to him only after her death and after the property has been probated. You should consult an attorney as he/she is the best person to guide you in this regard.

She is the current owner. Unfortunanly she is on her "death bed" and not capable of signing over the property. In the will, the nephew's mother is designated along with three other individuals that will get her estate, etc. but she has passed away.
Hi minidachs,
I would suggest you to contact a real estate attorney in order to resolve this issue. He will be the right person to help you in this regard and let you know what steps you need to take so that the nephew can get the property.
Thanks
