If transferring a deed from a deceased person to the heir
and there is no will and the estate worth is under $75,000,
will the heir need to provide his social security number to transfer the deed to sell the home, or does the deed even need to be transferred in order to sell?

Hi cgwelch!

Welcome to forums!

If the deceased person has left no will, then the heirs to the property will have to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and transfer the property in their name. They cannot use a property deed in order to transfer the property in their name as the original owner is deceased.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Would my dad have to submit his social security # when filing the affidavit of heirship? He is very, very concerned about giving his ss # out as a friend of the deceased, sister, is handling details out-of-state for him. Just want to know if he will need to give out his ss# to file for this? Thank you so very much for reply!!!

Contact a real estate attorney and get his opinion in this regard. In my knowledge, your father won't have to give the ssn#.
