Affidavit of heirship

Hi gsusavz!

Welcome to forums!

Yes, you can definitely file an affidavit of heirship in the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in your name. If you want, you can also take the help of an attorney.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

No. You must prepare and file an Affidavit of Heirship with the county Probate Court. A judge will sign an order giving you title to the property.
Consult with a local probate attorney or check with the court clerk's office about the procedure.

My mother died without a will. She was married to my stepfather. The property consisting of a home and business remain in her name. An Affidavit of Heirship was filed in 1995. Our lawyer tells us that the property is mine. (We live in TEXAS) Your opinion?

Hi S. White,

You've mentioned that the property remains in your mother's name. But, did your mother ever quitclaim it to your stepfather? Do they hold the title together?

If the answer is 'no', then your lawyer is correct. After your mother's death, you are the owner of the property now.

MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER LEFT NO WILL AND I HAVE HAD A HOUSE ON UNDIVIDED PROPERTY FOR 17 YEARS. WHAT IS MY LEGAL RIGHTS

Hi

Is the property still in your grandmother's name? If so, then you should have filed an affidavit of heirship with the probate court so the title could have been changed in your name. If your name is not on the title, you may face difficulty if you want to sell the house or take a loan against it in future.

My father died 2 months ago, my mother consulted an attorney over the home they both owned the attorney told her she needed a quick claim deed; when I called the county's clerk office they told me she needed an affidavit of heirship. We are confused which document does she really need?

Hi,

To suzie,

I don't think an affidavit of heirship form is available online. It would be better if you could contact your county recorder's office for it.

Hi Lilia,

As your father is deceased, your mother would require an affidavit of heirship in order to transfer the property in her name. A deceased person cannot sign a quitclaim deed to transfer the property.

Take care.

my father passed away, but did not leave a deed. being that i am the only child, i was told by the recorder's office the i would need an affidavit of heirship. do i also need a quit claim deed in addition to this document?

What is the statue of limitations on filing a civil suit, in the state of NV?

Hi Debra,

You can simply file an affidavit of heirship in the county recorder's office and transfer the property in your name. You don't have to file a quitclaim deed again. As far as statute of limitations in Nevada is concerned, for written contracts it is 6 years and for oral contracts it is 4 years.

Thanks

quit claim deed will not work. you need to submit death certificate along with affidevit of heirship to claim ownership on property.

My wife purchased a home before we were married. She never added my name to the title. We had 2 children before we were married. My wife passed away suddenly. Who owns the house?
