Heir property - How can it get transferred to one person?

Posted on: 30th Apr, 2007 10:18 am
My grandfather died and he left property to all 10 of his heirs but the only person paying the property tax is my mother. Her brothers and sisters refuse to pay they told her she can do what she wants with it but i think she needs to have them signed something. What can she do
Hi Dimples,

Welcome to Mortgagefit discussion board.

From what you have said it seems that all brothers and sisters are ready to give up their interest in this property over to your mother.

You are absolutely right that they will have to transfer their property rights by signing a property deed, like a warranty deed.

Do let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks

Dimples, if there is no mortgage on the property then you can use a warranty deed to get the heir property transferred in your mother's name.

On the deed all brothers & sisters will be named as grantors and your mother as the grantee. After the deed is made, your mother will become sole owner. To know more about warranty deeds you can go through this following page: http://www.mortgagefit.com/warranty-deed.html

Your mother should clearly tell her brothers and sisters that as she is paying all the taxes they should transfer their property rights to her or start paying the taxes. As are not concerned and have said that your mother can do whatever she wants to then it is clear that they are not interested in keeping their share of this property.

The thing you need to do is consult an attorney and make out a property transfer deed, to get the title ownership transferred in your mother's name.

A fried of mine wants to sell me her mother's house. she has a sister and a
child. Can the sister and the child block the sale of the house to me?

Hi Marcia,

It depends on who the actual owner of the house is i.e. whose name appears on the title. If your friend's mother alone is on the title, she can sell it to anyone. But if your friend's sister and the child, both or either of them, are on the title along with the mother, they can block the sale. However, if they do agree to sell the property, make sure you take over the title through a Warranty Deed, as it can ensure a free and clear title transfer to you.

Thanks,

Jerry

If my deceased great grandmonther and my brother are named on the property and he is paying the taxes, can anything be done with the property by him or anyone else.

Hi Jada!

Welcome to forums!

Your brother can remove the deceased great grandmother's name from the property deed by filing an affidavit of heirship. Once the property is transferred in your brother's name, then he can sell it off if he wishes.

Welcome Bp,

If the property is in your name, then you may be able to deduct the repairs from your state and federal taxes. If the property is not in your name, then you'll have to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in your name.

Hi derek,

The heirs to the property can file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in their names if your grandfather had no will. if there is a will, then that needs to be probated.

Thanks

Should all owners of a property be willing to help pay the taxes? My brother and I own our deceased parents' house, but since I live in the house I've been shouldering the tax burden alone.

Hi Anne,

All the owners are equally liable for paying the property taxes. You can negotiate with your brother so that he pays a certain portion of the property taxes.

Thanks
