It depends on what the deed says. If the deed is a right of survivorship, the property will go to the descendants of the last to die. If it is a joint ownership, the property could go to the beneficiaries of all three of the decedents.
Can one of two executors purchase the home and land from the beneficiaries with his inheritance before the estate is settled?
Yes, the administrator of an estate may purchase a home from the estate; however, that type of transaction is inherently a conflict of interest and would have to be approved by all beneficiaries having an interest in the property or by the probate court. Obviously a person buying a house wants to pay as little as possible to buy a house; but, the administrator has a fiduciary duty to receive as much as possible when selling the house. Usually, the administrator gets the consent of all beneficiaries to the transaction. They agree in advance that the sale price is satisfactory and that they have no objection to the administrator buying the house at that price. Sometimes administrators are required to apply to the probate court for the authority to sell the house and for permission to buy it. The administrator would have to prove to the court that the transaction is fair and above board. The beneficiaries would have an opportunity to raise objections if they object to the purchase price. If the administrator has no ownership interest in the property, he cannot force the beneficiaries to sell the house to him/her.
How do you transfer the deed of a deceased parent in NJ to surviving children?
When a decedent owned real property their estate must be probated for title to pass to the heirs. Also, the court must appoint a representative of the estate. You should seek the advice of an attorney who specializes in probate law for the procedure in your particular jurisdiction. In NJ, either the executor or the administrator will sign what we call an "executor's deed" where there is a will or an "administrator's deed" where the is no will. This is to formalize the transfer of the property. It is important to know that the beneficiaries or heirs technically own the property as of the date of death rather than the date of the deed. This deed is a formality only.
