i and my father signed and notarized a quitclaim deed form before he passed. about a few months ago. is it legal to sell the house without an attorney? do i need executorship over the house bfore doing so ? he recently passed april 28th of this year. i'm trying to see which is the most economical way to go about this.
Welcome Steph,
If your father has already signed over a quitlciam deed and given you the entire property rights, then I don't think an executorship is required. By the way, I suppose he hasn't made any will, has he?

Hi Steph,
Usually an executor is required if there's Will being prepared for distribution of property. But here in this situation, there isn't any Will. Also, the quitclaim deed has been executed before the father's death. So, property has already been transferred to you. being the owner, you can sell property provided it is free of liens and has clear title.

After your father signed the quit claim did the two of you hold title as joint tenants or did he give you sole ownership?
