Hi

I'm sorry to hear about your recent loss.

To transfer title, you will have to open a probate in the county where the deceased parent resided. Probates are not as bad as you might have heard. In Washington the type of probate you are dealing with here will generally cost between $1,250 and $1,750 in costs and fees, absent any unusual circumstances. It takes about five to six months to complete the process. The home can generally be transferred before the six months is complete.
