Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2007 1:05 am Post subject: Quitclaim Deed or Affidavit of Heirship?
I recently found out that the house my father lived in his entire life is still in his grandmothers name. She passed away long ago, his mother passed away in the late 70's and he passed away in 2002. There is no will as far as I know. However, his mothers sister (My Great Aunt) is still living and she is 92 years old. My Great aunt has no children and is in good health. She keeps the taxes on the house paid up and has stated to me that IF it were possible she would want me to have the house. I myself have no brothers nor sisters and was wondering if a simple Quitclaim deed solve this problem? AND given this particular situation would the quitclaim be valid? I've also heard about filing Affidavit of Heirship..but I was wondering if the Quitclaim Deed was still the best option in this situation. _________________ Need help choosing the right loan?

Since there is no Will on the property, you may file an affidavit of heirship which helps to transfer property to a heir in case there is no Will. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial sucess

Hi Ki,
For different purposes related to legal matters, different types of forms are used. In case of transfer of property having a deceased owner's name on the title, one should use an Affidavit of Heirship.
The quitclaim deed is used to convey interest in property from one or more individuals to another. But unlike an affidavit of heirship, the quitclaim is executed during their lifetime.
Thanks,
Sara

Hi brendajohn!
You have to visit the County Recorder’s office in order to file an affidavit of Heirship so that you can remove your husband’s name from the property. However, the lender may ask you to refinance the property so that the mortgage is on your name. The lenders generally prefer this. It solely depends on your lender whether he will ask to do the same or not.

i want to know how to change a title of a mobile home to my name my husband died 9 years ago and left a will but we live in louisiana and he had children but they all agree its mine what do i do without spending a lot of money
Changing the title with a quitclaim would have been less costly. But that doesn't seem to be possible as your husband is deceased. Since he has left a will, the property will go through a probate before it is distributed to the heirs. When everone mentioned in the will has got a share in the property, those who are not interested in it can quitclaim their share to you.
