Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Re: Do I need to transfer inherited condo to my name before selling?

No you do not need to transfer the deed, but you should hire an experienced attorney to handle the closing and he/she should handle all aspects of the transaction for you. We have substantial experience handling these types of cases, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.

Re: Do I need to transfer inherited condo to my name before selling?

There is no need for you to transfer the deed to your name, and you shouldn't. Upon sale, you will be asked for proof of your role as administrator and that will be sufficient to enable you to sign the deed.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or require assistance with the sale.

Do not transfer the property to your name. It is a waste of money.

You would transfer the property using an Executor or Administrator Deed.
