Re: Final ownership of a home
Assuming the property is in VA, it depends on whether the person had a will and how the property was titled. It is often by filing a Declaration of Heirs, but that may or may not be appropriate in your case. It is usually a simple matter, but to avoid problems it is best to have a lawyer do it.
To be sure property is passed upon death to the persons you want to inherit it, you should have a will (or other estate planning device). For this, you also need to see a lawyer.
