Our mil did a quitclaim on her home. She has 2 children and her wishes are that both share the home after she dies. When the title is researched it is only in one childs name. Is this unusual or usually done? How does the child not listed on the title prove that he is entitled to his half? Or, would a will (which she has but no one currently has access to) if it states that the home is to be divided equally cover this? Or would the child not on the title have to do something so he is included on the title?
Thank you for any help you can give

Hi Kathy,
It is quite usual as the title reveals that the property is in the name of one child. Now, if it is mentioned in the will that the property is to be divided equally among two children, then the two siblings will surely receive individual share of the property as stated in the will.

Hi Kathy,
This type of mistake generally happens at the time of recording the deed at the county recorder's office. In that case, if you have a duplicate copy of the notarized deed, you can take it to the office of the county recorder and show it to them as an evidence, they will surely change it in the title record. And thus you will be included in the title of the property.
