my brother has passed and we have a quit claim deed from my dad which states the property goese to both of us. can i just take the deed to the county office with a copy of my brother's death certificate and have the deed put into my name.
No. Your Brothers Estate is entitled to his portion of the property. If he doesn't have a Will or Living Trust, his Estate must go through Probate, and the Probate process will determine how is Estate is disbursed.
Welcome cynthia,
I agree with Raymond. The heirs of your brother can get your brother's share of the property. In that case, you can't claim the whole property.
