Re: Beneficiary Deeds

In the event that both of your parents are now deceased, you can bring the title to the real estate up to date by recording an Affidavit of Death with the Recorder of Deeds in the county where the real estate is located. Then, anyone who researches the ownership of the property can easily see that you are the legal owner. If you are not already represented by legal counsel, and you would like some assistance, you may call me for a free telephone consultation at 314-727-2822. Thank you.
