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.

Power of attorney is worthless upon death. The personal representative can close a bank account and move the funds to an estate account.

Can the executor close a bank account?

A power of attorney expires upon the death of the Principal (the person who nominated you as the agent). After the death of Principal, someone would need to be named as the Personal Representative ("executor") of the estate in order to have authority to gather and distribute the assets. I recommend you speak with a probate attorney who can assist you in determining your best course of action.
