affedivit of heirship is a document which needs to be prepared to remove the name of deceased and add name of heir.

your mother will become owner by filing affedivit of heirship. then she can quit claim deed it to you.

Hi dorisblue,

If the original owner dies without a will, the heirs need to file an affidavit of heirship with the probate court. This removes the name of the deceased owner and divides the property among the heirs as per the laws of intestacy. A warranty deed, on the other hand, transfers the property directly from one person to another, eliminating the need for a probate.

Your mother has given you and your husband the title to the home and both of you are on the property deed, right? If this is case, then how do your siblings have an interest in the property? They have neither been given the title, nor are they listed on the deed. They do not seem to have any right to claim an interest in the house.
