How do I go about changing the name on a property deed?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
It depends on why you are changing the name. Since you posted in the estate planning law area, I will assume the original grantee on the deed is deceased. In order to have property taken out of a deceased person's name, that person's will must be submitted to probate (if he or she died with a valid will). If that person died intestate (without a will), there are other ways to handle this problem, namely via a small estate administration or an affidavit of heirship. Please make sure to contact an attorney to have a more in-depth discussion of the property deed in question.

If my home had no Mortgage taxes were up-to-date how were they able to auction my home legally?

Arthur Harold Geffen

Estate Planning lawyer at Dallas Estate Attorney
If the facts are as you represent then something is wrong.  You should run not walk to a real estate or probate and estate planning lawyer to see if you have a remedy.

What do I do if my mother has passed without signing over a power of attorney?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
A power of attorney is no longer valid once the person who signed the power has died. Even if your mother had signed a power of attorney, then, it would not help you now. It's not possible to tell you what to do now, without receiving more information. You may have to probate your mother's estate, or there may be a way around probate. The question depends mostly on the size of your mother's estate. You can do some reading on the subject of probate, you can talk to a lawyer who handles probate matters, or both.
