Hello,

My father passed away and in his will he specified that my brother and I are to receive equal interest in his house. I wish to purchase my brothers half of the house, and he wants to sell it to me. The title to the house is still in my dads and moms names - my mom passed away two years ago. Both my mom and dads wills and death certificates are on file with the county. There is also a 90,000 mortgage on the house. How do I go about buying my brothers half of the house?

Thank you!

Hi Tom s!

Welcome to forums!

You will have to probate the will and transfer the property in your names. Then your brother can sign a quitclaim deed and transfer his share of the property to you. You will have to notarize and record the deed at the county recorder's office.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
