Proper or Correct Title Transfer Procedures
This will probably be shorter if done this way.
1. Granddad & Grndmom - purchse property. Have 5 kids.
2. Grndad dies. Later years, grdmom remarries, then dies.
3. Step-Gradpop quitclaims his interest to her kids, due to old age,health, house old and flling in etc.
4. Kids want to transfer to me, a granchild. 1 of the kids died, he married 2 times which resulted in 1 adult kid from 1st marriage and the second wife a widow. Where do they come in? Is one or the other or both required to sign quitclaims and or Warranty deed with the living kids in order to properly transfer this property to me? Thanks. Tam

Re: Proper or Correct Title Transfer Procedures
Assuming your deceased uncle died without a will, his interest passed to his surviving child, not his wife, as inherited property is not community property. As a practical matter a deed from this cousin and from the other siblings should be sufficient for you to take possession of the house. However, if you want to sell or mortgage the property, you will have to convince a title company that you have good title. This may well require additional affidavits of heirship, etc,
