Generally, in the United States, when a person dies owning real property their estate must be probated in order for title to pass to the heirs legally. Once the title has passed legally the heirs can convey the property by a quitclaim deed to a new owner. You should seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in probate.

∙ 11y agoIf the owner of the property is deceased their estate must be probated in order for the heirs or estate representative to obtain legal title to their real estate. The executor must submit the will to the probate court for allowance. The court will examine the will to make certain it is valid and if the will is allowed the court will appoint the executor as long as there are no objections to the appointment. The executor will have the authority to transfer title to the real estate once the debts of the decedent have been paid. The executor may be required to obtain a license to transfer the property unless that power was granted in the will. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate law in your jurisdiction.

If one of 3 Grantees on a Quit Claim Deed dies before the Grantor dies does his share of property then transfer to the other 2 Grantees listed on the deed?
The grantor has no interest in the property once they convey it. Their death has no bearing on the question. At the time of the conveyance the parties should decide what they want to happen to the property upon the death of any of the grantees. If they hold title as joint tenants with the right of survivorship, the interest of any co-tenant who dies automatically passes to the other co-tenants. If they hold title as tenants in common, the interest of any co-tenant who dies will pass to their beneficiaries under their will or to their heirs-at-law according to the state laws of intestacy.

You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in probate and real estate law in your area. Deeds recorded after the death of the grantor can create title problems. There may be different practices in different jurisdictions. A title company may require some declaratory action to quiet title before it will issue any policies on the property. That means the expense of a court action that results with a court order recorded in the land records.

There is a quick claim deed and the grantor dies would the water sewer account transfer to grantee or would a new account have to be opened?
You need to notify the municipality of the change in ownership to make certain you receive future bills for service. If those municipal charges aren't paid on time they will become a lien on the property and will eventually result in late charges and additional fees and costs.
What does joint tenants with quitclaim covenants mean and do the heirs of the joint tenants have rights to the property?
First, a quitclaim deed transfers any interest in the property owned by the grantor in the deed. It does not guarantee that the grantor owns the property. Ownership must be confirmed by a title examination performed by a professional.When the grantees in the deed acquire as joint tenants that creates a special relationship between those grantees in the case of death. If one dies the surviving joint tenantautomatically becomes the sole owner of the property. The heirs of that decedent have no rights to the property.When that surviving joint tenant (who is now the sole owner) dies, the property will pass to their heirs according to the provisions in their Will or according to the laws of intestacy if they have no Will.
