my aunt passed away and left the house to my parents; they have since passed away but gave me the house when they both were very ill. can i sale the house using the quit claim deed process? i have records of paying the taxes for the past 20 years, i'm ready to sale and move but have given a very hard time putting deed in my name. help!
Hi Dpompey,
Welcome to the forum,
Is the deed on your name? If not then you can't sell the house. You have to first contact an attorney and make the deed on your name. Do your parents have a will? I think as the heir of your parents you will own the house. So after making the deed on your name you can sell the house.
Regarding selling the house you should use a Warranty deed.
Feel free to ask if you any further questions
Best of luck,
Larry

Thanks Larry, my aunt willed the property to my parents but neither of them had a will; leaving me in this situation. I have siblings that would not dispute the sale, in fact will sign off with me. The deed was never transferred into my parents name from my aunt.
Hi Dpompey,
Welcome back,
So you should first turn the deed on your name with the help of the attorney. Your siblings don't want the property and ready to sign it to you. So it is will be easer for you to own. Actually unless and until you own the property you can't sell the property.

so can I quit claim the house to my daughter without being on the deed?
Hi Dpompey,
No you can't quitclaim if you are not the owner of the property. First of all what you have to do is turn the deed in your name. The owner can only sell the property or quitclaim to others.
I think you don't have the idea about quitclaim deed. You can check this article regarding quitclaim deed at - http://www.mortgagefit.com/quitclaim-deed.html
Hope this will help you to understand about quitclaim deed better.

You are in a mess; contact a probate attorney immediately.
Since there was no deed nor a will, title must be transferred by court order. The probate attorney will give you details.

Hi dpompey,
did the estate go through probate? If it did then there should be documentation that would state how to proceed with this property. If not then it needs to go through probate court to determine this. There doesn't seem like much you can do until have final word from the courts.
