Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Arizona
estate question
My grandfather died in 1977. The property my parents live on now is still in my deceased grandfathers name. How can we get that changed to my parents' name? So when they pass away this will not be a problem : settling their debts by selling the property. Or putting the property in another relative's name.

Re: estate question
Depending upon the value and whether there is a mortgage, you will likely have to go through a probate case. There is no other way to get title. Did your grandfather have a will? Who has it? Who is named as personal representative (executor) in the will? Or did he die intestate (no will)? Did he have other children or heirs other than your parents? Was the house in joint tenancy with your parents?
