Owner deceased is a QuitClaim possible?

Posted on: 19th Nov, 2010 12:34 pm
My uncle owned a home and acreage in Kentucky. He was never married, no children and no parents survive him but he has 4 surviving siblings. He passed away with no will. After he died, the house was paid off by family and since then various family have been paying the taxes. Since there was no will and no estate filed, can a quitclaim be filed? He died in February 1984.

Many thanks
Angela

Hi alex,

As your uncle is deceased, a quitclaim deed cannot be used in this case. Your uncle's siblings can file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in their names.

Thanks
