Re: home ownership after spouse's death
It sounds like you will need an affidavit of heirship, then a deed from your stepdaughter to you. You will need a lawyer to draft these documents. If you can find out which title company the credit union would be using, maybe they can help, or at least refer you to a lawyer who can get these documents ready quickly and affordably.
