I am executor and sole heir of my brother's estate. He owned a small lot in Alabama. The deed was not found in his personal papers and there is no record of it ever being filed. Taxes have been paid since the early 1970's. He had no dependents when he died. Tax records have been changed to my name as executor and heir. The developer who originally sold the property and the bank where the loan was financed have been out of business since the mid 1980's. Is a Quitclaim Deed the correct approach to get a title to the property and will a real estate lawyer be required?

Hi Guest,

As far as I know, a quitclaim deed is not the way to get the property transferred in your name. You should immediately contact a real estate attorney and take his opinion in this matter. He will guide you as to what steps you need to take in this regard.

Thanks

Hi al executer,

There are varying complexities depending on the problem that needs to be addressed.Yes! You need to consult with an attorney who can review your particular situation and explain your options and costs.
