Re: Need to transfer property deed after death of spouse
A quit claim or warranty deed wouldn't work, unless there was some sort of probate action. I can't answer your question without further information from you. Specifically:
1. When did your mother die?
2. Did your mother have a will?
3. Are there debts of the mother's estate?
4. How many children did the mother have?
5. Of those children, are any of them not a product of the marriage with your father (i.e. are there stepchildren, or children from a former marriage?)
Please let me know.
