How do I transfer property that is in the name of a deceased

Posted on: 14th Sep, 2007 08:13 pm
My son is trying to get a piece of property from his cousin. The property is in my niece's name (who is deceased). His cousin is the only living heir to the property. There are back taxes owed on the property, but my son will agree to pay the taxes. His cousin has agreed to sign the property over to my son. We just need help finding what paperwork we need to do this legally in Texas.
i just found out that my aunt is paying the taxes on some land that her mothers dad owned and the deed is from 1933 and is still in the dead person name but my aunt has been paying the taxes all these years and yes she is 99 years old. the recorders office has her down to send the tax bill to every year. my question is can she get a deed in her name only.

Hi mr carter,

Depending upon the adverse possession laws of her state, your aunt may be able to claim rights on that property. She can contact an attorney and take necessary steps to claim the property.

Welcome glenn,

You will have to contact the heirs of the original owner in order to get the property transferred in your name.

Welcome KAT,

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

My father recently passed away in a elder care facility leaving mobile home property. My father's brother is claiming ownership of property, but does not have will to confirm. My father and mother were seperated for 17yrs, but are still legally married, does she have any right with property.

Hi ANA!

Welcome to forums!

If your uncle and your mother's name are not mentioned on the property deed, then they cannot claim ownership of that property. However, if your state offers dower rights to the spouse, then your mother can claim her share in your father's property.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Hi Guest,

If your mother had added your bother and his wife to the property deed, then there is no issues with it. Your mother, who was the owner of the property, had the rights to add anyone to the property.

Thanks

Welcome P,

If you had sold off the property to your brother, then naturally your name will be removed from the property deed and your brother's name will be added to it. As your brother is the owner of the property, then he can add his wife's name to the property deed.
