My mom and dad are passed on, and I have been living at the property since. They had no will...Can I use a quite claim deed to transfer my name onto a deed? And would I need a attorney to do so?

Hi midnitepeach!

Welcome to forums!

As your parents are deceased, you cannot use a quitclaim deed to transfer the property in your name. You have mentioned that your parents did not have a will. I would suggest you to submit their death certificates at the county recorder's office and file an affidavit of heirship in order to transfer the property in your name. You can take an attorney's help while filing the affidavit of heirship.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

Hi

A quitclaim would not be a solution in your situation. The deed has to be signed by the grantor where he/she would be transferring his/her proeprty-share to you which is not possible as your parents are deceased. Thus, an affidavit of heirship is what you need to have the title in your name.
