How do I get my deceased parents' house transferred into my name?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
You probably need to file a small estate affidavit for both of your parents in the counties where they died. If your mother and father died with less than $50,000.00 in assets (not including their homestead real estate), you may file a small estate affidavit to transfer their assets to your name. It's unclear if you have siblings, but if you do, each of you will own equal shares of the property left behind. I recommend you contact an estate planning attorney to advise you on the specifics of your case. Good luck.

How to cash a Estate check

Terry Lynn Garrett

Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Contact a probate lawyer who practices in the county in which your grandmother lived and died.  Since the check is to the estate, not to you, you must open a formal probate (proving) of her estate by filing an Application for Determination of Heirship and Issuance of Letters of Administration or, depending on the amount in her estate, a Small Estate Affidavit.
