Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan

At the time my husband passed away in 2007 his was the only name on the deed to the house I live in. According to the mortgage company myname must be on the deed in order for me to assume the mortgage. According to the Probate Court to put my name on the deed requires two documents which will cost over $500. I can't afford this. Am I able to "record a deed" myself? This would be difficult as I have several disabilities. Russet Klasner

No, you need to go through probate. Otherwise, you will never obtain title to the house, nor ownership interests. www.kliszlaw.com Tim Klisz
