Best Answer

If the property was owned by mother and son as joint tenants with the right of survivorship the mother's interest passed to her son when she died. He is now the sole owner. He should record a copy of her death certificate in the land records to clear the title. Names are not "removed" from deeds. The tenancy recited on their deed and the recording of the death certificate will notify the world the son is now the sole owner.

If they owned the property as tenants in common then mother's estate must be probated in order for her interest to pass to her heirs. Under Virginia law, if mother died intestate with no surviving spouse her children would inherit her property in equal shares. If the son is her only child he would inherit her half interest in the property. However, in order for title to real estate to pass to heirs the estate must be probated.

If property is only in your mothers name when she dies in Missouri will the step father or the mothers children get the property?

You need to check with your county's Registrar of Deeds to determine for certain if your mother IS the only person named on the deed. If the step-father is on the deed, the property will pass as the deed was written and filed. If the property is in the mother's name alone and there is a will in effect, the property will be allocated as stated in the will. If no will is in effect, the laws of intestacy will apply and the lawful spouse will be the primary inheritor, with each of the remaining blood relatives getting a percentage of the estate.
