| My aunt died and left her house to me and my brother. Does the will need to be probated in order to get the title in our names? |

Hi Brenda,
I think you should get your will probated. Property titles are not allowed to rely on the will itself as proof that you have the authority to deal with the assets of the deceased.
I would suggest you to approach your attorney and get the things done under his guidance. That will be safe for you.
Regards,

Hi Brenda,
Welcome to MortgageFit Forums.
I would agree with Blue that you should get your will probated. This will guard you from any unwanted future hassles.
Generally if a person dies owning a property in his name and not jointly with any one else, then the will of the deceased person must get probated and the executor must carry it out as per the deceased's wish.
This is the legal procedure and will safeguard you legally from any unwanted future claims. So, consult your attorney and get the thing done for your benefit.
Hope you got the answer for your query. Feel free to post if you have any more doubts
God bless you.
For MortgageFit,
Samantha
