Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan

I'm the Executor of my deceased aunt's estate. She didn't will her house to anyone, but stated that the monies received from selling the house be split between me, my dad, and brother. Both have died recently. The house is paid for; the taxes are up-to-date. My question is, can I as an Executor, transfer my name to the deed? Or do I need to wait until my Letters of Authority run out?

If you have letters of authority, you will need to follow her wishes in the will. If the others have passed, you may need to open an estate in their names to pass their share on to you. As personal representative (executor) you do have the authority to deed property to those who are to receive same. Please contact me to discuss in more detail. [email protected] or 586-580-8850
