My husband and I own property in Indiana that I want to deed over to his son as his dad wanted. How do I address the issue of him being deceased in order to sign this property to his son? The property is in both of our names and as survivor I don't know how to put the signature lines, etc. so it can be notarized. Thank you.
Hi Thelma,
You will have to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in your name. Once this is done, then, you can sign a quitclaim deed and add your husband's name to the property deed.

Welcome Thelma,
You can contact a real estate attorney and he will look into the matter and let you know what steps you need to take in this regard.

First of all, you need to furnish proper documents to the recorder's office which unquestionably proves the death of your husband. This will help you transfer the property entirely in your name. Thereafter with the help of a quit cliam deed or a warranty deed, you can transfer the property in the name of the son of your deceased husband.
