my father died about 20 years before my mother died. both their names are still on the deed. i am the exeuctrix of my mother's estate. my father did not have a will. the property is in pa and i would like to file a quit claim deed transferring the property to my niece, their granddaughter. no mortgage involved. how do address the issue of my father's name on the deed to get this accomplised. thank you for any help.
Hi Anna!
Welcome to forums!
As your father's name is still on the deed, you won't be able to file a quit claim deed and transfer it to your niece. You need to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in your name. Then you will be able to transfer the property to your niece.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
