Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Re: To have a deed changed.

The question you ask is quite complicated. The original deed must be reviewed to see how the title interest was created in each of parties. It is important to know whether estates were ever probated for each the deceased parties.The reason the question is difficult to answer is that insufficient information is provided. If each of the deceased parties had an interest that survived their death that interest must be transferred from their individual estate from the deceased party's heirs. There may be ways around this issue but you must see an attorney to resolve the issue knowing the full facts. Without a review of the full facts any solution would be based on pure speculation. Questions as to who was the last to die could be important depending upon how the title was given. I suspect that estates may have to be probated or possibly an action to quiet title must be filed with the court to clarify the real estate interest. I do not want to make this answer complicated but as you can see more information is needed. Given the value of the real estate it hopefully is worth straightening out the ownership interest in order to convey it to your son. If you can provide me with the full facts, I may be able to assist you.
