A title company will help you prepare what you need to be on title. Since you have been making payments on the property, you show a vested interest in the property. Was there a will? If the will leaves you the home, then you are in good shape, if there are other heirs, then the property would need to be sold or refied to satisfy the other heirs portion of the estate. _________________ Chris Gummerson Bay Valley Mortgage Group bayvalleymortgage.com 714-367-5125

This will make you the owner of the property and then you can refinance the mortgage in order to get the mortgage transferred in your name. Thanks
