Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana

I am an only child. My father died in 1981 and by will, left the house where I reside to my mother who died in 2002 without a will. There was no probate of either of my parent�s estates. My deceased parents continue to be shown as owners of the house where I reside, according to the county assessors records. I want to be able to sell or will the house to my life partner. How shall I go about accomplishing this?

You need to see an attorney. You will in all likelihood have to open an estate to pass the title to yourself, and then take whatever other steps you want to with it once you get clear title. There is no piece of paper that you can get on your own which will do this for you. You may also have some tax consequences still owing from 2002. Do not delay in getting this resolved.
