HI.
My sister purchased a house from a friend and they each signed a quitclaim deed. My sister and I are both on the quitclaim deed. My sister passed away May 2010. Does this mean I have full rights to the house and property. How do I take her name off the quitclaim deed? Does her two children inherit any of the property? I'm not sure what to do.

What a mess

Assuming you and your sister owned the property outrigth at the time of her death: What did the deed say that put you and your sister in title? Did it state "as joint tenants with rights of survivorship"? If so, you own the property. Otherwise her share of the property would tranfer according to her will, if she didn't have a will the property rights would go according to the laws of succession for your state-most likely the children would have an interest.

Hi Guest,

Your sister's heirs will be able to inherit her share of the property. They will have to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in their names.
