Re: Wills and probates

I would need more information to definitvely answer the question. Assuming your grandmother's name was also on the deed as joint tenants or his Will was probated and the property transferred to her, then her Estate owned the property upon her death and her Will needs to be probated to tranfer ownership to the 3 children. If the real estate was the sole asset, you may be able to by-pass the probate proceeding and tranfer the property ourtight.

You may contact me at anytime to further discuss the details of this matter.
