You are not required to record a deed. If the estate was properly probated the probate process passed legal title to you and probate records are part of the public record of real property ownership.

Some bankers who do not understand title theory will insist you record a deed before approving a new mortgage. Some people who inherit property want a deed in their own name. However, if a bank is not involved whether ot not to have a deed drafted and recorded is up to you. You do not need a deed. If a deed is required it should be drafted by an attorney.

Can a person claim adverse possession of a property on behalf of the previous owner who is now deceases In this case a daughter inherited a property from her mother and within 6 months claimed possess?

Generally, a person cannot claim adverse possession on behalf of a deceased owner. Adverse possession requires that the claimant possess the property in their own right, not as a representative of another. In the scenario described, since the daughter inherited the property from her mother, she would not need to claim adverse possession; she already has legal ownership of the property through inheritance. Adverse possession typically applies when someone occupies land without the owner's consent, which is not the case here.

How do you get the beneficiary name changed on savings bonds if the owner has died?

If the owner of the savings bonds has died, then the bonds are inherited by the beneficiary, unless the beneficiary has also died in which case the bonds go to the estate of the beneficiary. If you don't want the bonds to be inhertied by the named beneficiary or the estate of the beneficiary, I would like to know what legal basis you have for taking control of those bonds. We already know that you are neither the owner (who has died) nor the beneficiary. So what is your claim based upon? I doubt that you have any legal basis to change the benefciary.


Will you need to pay inherited tax on land if your name is already on the property as co-owner with the party who passed away?

Meaning if you are part owner of property, and the other party pass away first. Will you have to pay inherited tax on their part, to be full owner of it? I may be wrong about this, but as long as the other party did not leave their part to someone else in a will. I think that you would be the full owner, and pay the full amount of tax due each year as personal property. It may have a lot to do with how the title was written up in the beginning and if it says your name AND OR theirs.
