My father in law and mother in law are both named on the title of their house in California. My father in law has passed away and she wants to update the deed to the house with only her name. Is this necessary and if so should she also include her sons? How do they begin this process?

Thank you!

Hey Frances,

It's not necessary for your mother-in-law to include her sons in the property deed. It would be her discretion whether or not she wants to include their names on the deed.

In order to remove her husband's name from the property deed, she will have to file an affidavit of heirship. If she wants to add her sons to the property, she can sign a quitclaim deed and add them to the deed.
