You need to talk to an attorney that's up on real estate law in your state.
It varies by states.
When a property owner passes away, title transfer to a relative typically occurs through the deceased's estate. If the deceased had a will, the property is transferred according to the terms of the will. If there is no will, state intestacy laws govern the distribution of assets, including the home. In either case, the transfer must be documented with a new deed recorded in the local land records office to reflect the change in ownership.

To transfer the title of a home from a deceased family member, you typically need to follow the probate process, which involves validating the deceased's will (if one exists) and appointing an executor. The executor will then file a petition with the probate court to initiate the process. Once the court approves the will and the executor, the title can be transferred to the heirs by executing a new deed, often requiring the completion of a form and payment of any applicable transfer taxes. It's advisable to consult with a probate attorney to navigate any specific legal requirements and ensure proper handling of the estate.
