How to get sole ownership of an inherited home
Full Question:
Answer:
I am prohibited from giving legal advice, such as recommending a particular form. If the estate is still in the probate process, a fiduciary or executor's deed is typically used by the executor to transfer the real property of the deceased to the heir(s). After the property has been transferred out of the estate to joint tenants, one tenant may transfer her interest to the other tenant by filing a deed with the county recorder in the county where the property is located. A quit claim deed from an individual to another individual is often used between family members when there are no questions regarding ownership and claims on the property. A warranty deed contains certain assurances about the title being transferred, whereas a quit claim deed transfers the title "as is", subject to any claims which may exist (liens, etc.).
