Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Arizona
Title to property
Property was purchased in 60's by Grandmother - descended to her surviving children after her death (no will) - Of original 7 seven siblings listed on property deed, only 2 survive. How do the remaining siblings remove deceased names from deed, and assume title to property? No deceased sibling made provisions in their respective wills for inheritance to their children - does title to property default to surviving siblings, or are there procedures/claims to file?

Re: Title to property
Since the original 7 probably did not hold as joint tenants with right of survivorship, each individual's interest passed to his or her estate. You may have a mess on your hands. Was there no probate of any of these people's estates when they died?
To give a proper opinion, you will need to consult with an attorney who can examine the deeds transferring the title to the 7, and any subsequent deeds. Only then can the mess begin to be untangled. Why was the property not sold after grandma's death?
