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.

Hi Danni,

The deed needs to be probated so that you can get the title of the property transferred in your name. You will have to get in touch with a real estate attorney and take his help in probating the will.

My father died and left vehicles scattered. The tax assessor says anything assessed is in probate and cannot be sold by fathers girlfriend. Wat can we do about his property! How does probate work! Where can we find a lawyer who will work until we win the case?

I just found out that my landlord is signing rental leases under their deceased grandfather's name who has been dead for 13 years. Is this legal?

Hi Sandra,

Signing rental leases under the deceased grandfather's name will be illegal. He cannot do that!

Thanks
