Affidavit of heirship

Posted on: 05th Dec, 2008 03:58 pm
my mom died without a will in El Paso County Texas. I am her only child and she was not married. Can I transfer title with an affidavit of heirship?
I am the only heir of my father's. I have all ready done a affidevit of heirship, the judge has sighned off and everything. But now iam being told because the property is located on some land my father deeded(questionalbe) to the women he lived with(not married) that i have to take her to court to get it. Is this so? :(

Hi Danny,

If your father had deeded a certain amount of property to someone else, then you won't be able to claim that property as yours. If the property transfer is questionable, then you will have to file a lawsuit against her in the courthouse in order to get the ownership of the property.

Hi grace!

Welcome to forums!

If your husband is deceased and if you want to get the property transferred in your name, then you can contact the county recorder's office and file an affidavit of heirship to get the property transferred in your name.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

filing affidevit of heriship to have property title switched over - no where on the form of the affidevit does it have the property address or name, should it have that on there? please advise?

Hi Renee,

It will be better if you could contact a real estate attorney and ask him to check out the affidavit of heirship form. He will go through it and will let you know whether or not the form should include the property address or name.

Thanks

I recently sold my grandmothers house in TX. She did not have a will so had to go to court to claim ownership. It was granted and house was sold. She has had land since the 80's in Mississippi. Do I have to hire an attorney in MS and go thru this process again or do I have legal rights to sell in MS??

Hi Crystal,

If the property in Mississippi has been transferred in your name, then you will be considered as the owner of the property. You can go to Mississippi and sell off the property.

Thanks

Thank you for your response. I guess my question is...how do I go about having it transferred to my name. The property is still in her name in Mississippi. Probate attorney? I know the laws differ from state to state.

Thanks

Hi Crystal,

If you're the only heir to the property, then you need to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in your name.

Hi Catherine,

You can contact your mother's attorney in order to check out what policies and assets she had. Also, the attorney will be able to let you know whether or not she had a will.

Thanks
