My mother, deceased, in her will left her half of the house she lived in to my sister. Her husband, also deceased, left his half of the house to my sister. I am the executor of my mother's estate and my sister is the executor of his estate. Can we do a quick claim to get the house in her name? There are no other children and no concerns. I would sign my mother's interest to her and she would sign her father's interest to herself. Is that correct or do we really need to pay an attorney?
Welcome Fritzi,
As there is a will, it needs to be probated. In order to probate the will, you'll have to contact an attorney. Once the probate is complete, the property would be divided amongst both of you.
