Re: Transfer of Property of Deceased

You need to take proper action now to protect the assets. The first thing is to check title to the property. Assuming the property was held by tenants by the entireties by the parents, then you need only open an estate for the mother.

Then seek to have the property transfered to the son or his estate.

His estate would then transfer his assets to his heirs at law or as dictated by his Will.
