How do I transfer property that is in the name of a deceased

Posted on: 14th Sep, 2007 08:13 pm
My son is trying to get a piece of property from his cousin. The property is in my niece's name (who is deceased). His cousin is the only living heir to the property. There are back taxes owed on the property, but my son will agree to pay the taxes. His cousin has agreed to sign the property over to my son. We just need help finding what paperwork we need to do this legally in Texas.
Hi jaysmn,

There are chances that the monies will go to the person filing the suit. However, in my opinion, it will be a better option if you can consult a lawyer and take his opinion in this matter.

Thanks,

Jerry

His son now wants to run this business(sits on the water) and not let the 3 remaining heirs have anything to do with the property. They don't want the business they just want to be able to park their boats at the slits. He refuses to let any relatives park boats their. Can he do this

Do I have to file the Affadavit of Heirship with the county recorders office if I am not transferring any property or titles? I am only trying to close a bank account out. I don't think the small estate affadavit applies because the assetts don't exceed the liabilities...

Hi Pam,

This is something which you need to clarify with your real estate attorney. He will better assist you with the required legal formalities in this matter.

Thanks

My grandmother quit claimed the family farm to my father around 1979. My father passed away in 2008 we filled his death certifficate with registery of deeds and went to equaliztion this is where it gets fuzzy thought that we were documenting that the property was in my mothers name now and was going to continue to be agricultre. My mother not knowingly continued to pay property taxes with it being titled still in my fathers name. Taxes came due this year and it jump say its no longer agriculture because the orginal home stead is nolonger the home stead because we move to a new house not on the original home stead peice of property and the it was asseased as no longer agricultre. Both parcels are still being farmed. Now we are unsure what we did not do right to put the property in my mothers name. We had assumed that because of marrige the property went to my mothers name when we filled my fathers death certifficate with the registry of deeds?

Mother died last Friday She had tod's on her property in New Madrid, her car and the money she had invested, however, she was purchasing a condo and had no tod. How do we sell the condo to pay the bank?

Hi Mary!

Welcome to forums!

If the condo is solely in your mother's name, then you will have to file an affidavit of heirship and get the property transferred in your name. Then you can list the property in the market and sell it off to pay off the lender.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

My sister died almost two years ago and we have not been able to find her Will. Our parents have already passed away and the only immediate relatives left are a brother and myself, but my sister also had a son that she gave up for adoption when he was born. I was orginally her executor and personal representative of her estate. I was also left in chare of her burrial. I have paid the taxes on her home for the last two years.

I am wondering if I have to try and find her son that she gave up for adoption or if I can just file a heirship affidavit with my brother for her estate?

Hi jg,

As far as I can understand, you and your brother will have to file for an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and try to get the property transferred in your name.

Hi shawn,

You should contact a real estate attorney and discuss your situation with him. He will let you know what rights you have in this regard.

I lived with my mom for years. I took care of her when she was sick for about 15 yrs. She passed in in 2006 and in 2008 I suffered a spinal cord injury which has left me in a wheelchair in unbearable pain all the time. My mom did have a will and left the house to me, but because of my injuries I have not yet done the transfer. Can you please tell me what I have to do to change the name on the deed to mine?
