Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Re: want to transfer deed of house to my name

If the daughter was the sole heir and the estate was free of debts, she would be able to make the transfer. You would want a title insurance company to insure your title. See an attorney familiar with real estate transactions in the Bronx.

I do not charge for initial phone consultations.

My comments are based on treating your question as an hypothetical. Accordingly, my comments could be substantially and materially different were I advised of all of the relevant facts and circumstances. My comments are by necessity general in nature, and should not be relied upon in taking or forgoing action in your circumstances without retaining an attorney. In order to fully explore your legal matter, you should meet with me or another attorney and bring to any such meeting all relevant documents and correspondence, and any other relevant facts.

I am not hired to be your attorney, and no attorney-client relationship exists between us, unless and until you enter into a written retainer agreement with me, tender the agreed amount for a retainer and it is accepted by me. I reserve the right to decline representation should circumstances change.

Re: want to transfer deed of house to my name

Someone, as next of kin, maybe the daughter if there is no wife or other children, must probate the Will or be appointed as Aministrator. Once appointed, if the daughter is entitled to the house, they can give her a Deed so she can complete the transaction. More information on the father's estate is needed to give a proper answer.
