My Husbands Grandmother died in 2006 and the house is still in her name. A letter that she wrote and had it notarized stating that in the case of her death that the daughter would have ownership of the house. How can the house be sold still in the grandmother's name.

Without a valid recorded Trust, the property would have gone into probate. The probate court would look at the will she left and any heirs that might claim the property. Who sold the property? Was it the bank who held a note against it?

Hi Lisa,

The daughter has to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office. Once the property is transferred in the name of the daughter, she will be able to sell off the property or transfer it to your husband.

Thanks
