Mom died. Dad survived. Both names on deed to house. Both have wills leaving house to the other. Should deed be changed to dads name only. Diy?

It all depends on whether the deed is a tenants in common deed or a joint tenants with rights of survivorship deed. If it is a joint tenants with rights of survivorship, you need to do nothing.  If it is any other kind of deed, some action in probate court will be required.  It might be as simple as a Petition for Year's Support or a Petition to Appoint Permanent Administrator.

It is nto up the the funeral home to express to you all of hte different optionbs available in teh world.  It is only their job to tell you what they have available.  Even then, they are not legally obligated to even tell you the many options they offer.

May I deed property under mortgage to my sons while retaining responsibility for paying same?

Answered by attorney Theodore A. Speaker (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Speaker Law Firm
Yes, but I would never keep the mortgage in my name. You are responsible for payment, but do not have a any legal rights to it. What happens if he dies and leaves the house to someone else? You still pay. Check with the Mortgage company to get their permission, before you do anything. They may accelerate the mortgage to be paid off. In short - do not do it.
