Best Answer

First, the estate must be probated in order for legal title to pass to you. Probate records form part of the public record and your title is established there. Once the probate process has been completed you can ask the attorney who handled the estate to draft a new deed in order to get the record title in your name in the land records.

Only if you want clear title to the property. If you fail to clear the lien, the property can be sold from under you.

Will title insurance transfer with inherited property?

Yes, anyone who takes title by operation of law, inheritance for example, is an insured under the title policy No. Title insurance is non-transferrable. The coverage is only for the life of a loan (Mortgage Policy) or from conveyance to a new owner from the current owner (Owner Policy). Even if the property you inherited had been "in the family" for years, it is still wise to have a property search done on the property to make sure it is free of liens and possible claims. Once you know the true status of it, you can make the decision to purchase an Owner's Policy to insure your interests against prior owners. If you are not keeping the property, intending to sell it, you'd want to know the status of the title so you didn't have surprises later on at the closing table. The fact that you are inheriting the property does not guaranty clear title.
