Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Missouri
Property After Death
Hello, my mother passed away in August of 2008. She has a house that is completely paid off, that was in solely in her name. She has 3 children, myself, and my younger brother and sister. The taxes are paid up, and currently no one lives there. What do I have to do to change the ownership of that house and put it in my name? It has been agreed between the 3 of us that I take ownership of the house. Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you!

Re: Property After Death
Since your mother owned the house in her own name at the time of her death, you must open a probate estate and dispose of the house and any other assets through the probate court. if she had a Will, the Will must be filed within one year of her death. If not, you should still open the probate estate as soon as possible.
