Your uncle's estate must be probated in order for title to his property to pass to his heirs legally. Once his heirs have been established by the probate court his property will pass under the terms of his will or if there was no will, according to the state laws of intestacy. The probate procedure will determine who is the new owner of the property. The new owners must convey the property to you by deed.

If you were the sole beneficiary of his estate then you are the legal owner of the property once the estate has been probated. The probate proceeding is a part of the public record and your ownership has been established there. You don't need to have a deed in your name but you can have one drafted by an attorney if you wish.


Generally, the attorney will draft a deed from you, as the owner by inheritance, to a member of her staff as the grantee. That deed will recite how you acquired title by inheritance and is called a straw deed. The staff person will then sign another deed that conveys title to you. Both deeds must be recorded in the land records in the correct order and you will be the new owner of record.


The transfer should be handled by an attorney.
