Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Minnesota

Re: Life Estate

Your question raises a number of issues for me. Who is trying to change the names? Is it the fee owner? The holder of the life estate? The remainderman? Someone else?

What is the reason for the change. It may be that other things need to be changed, too, such as a will, revocable trusts, title to other property, bank accounts, etc. I would recommend you speak to a competent attorney.

Re: Life Estate

You would execute a new series of deeds. You should contact a lawyer to give him or her an overall view of what is trying to be accomplished. There is a new type of deed (Transfer on Death Deed) that might be of interest, depending on what is desired by the parties.
