Grandfather died left all property to grandchildren in will with his children having life estate to property they sold property but kept minerals in all of grand childrens names who has the rights to?

If your grandfather died and left all his property to his grandchildren in his will then they are the owners of the property. If your grandfather granted his own children life estates in the same property they did not have the authority to sell the real estate. In Massachusetts, their deeds would be null and void as to the transfer of the fee to the property. In order to convey the grandchildren's interest in the property they would have been required to have court approval of the sale. You should consult an attorney.


What is the cost of placing a lien on property willed to you if trying to own it and can you go to the courthouse and place a personal lien on the property that is yours according to a will?

Not sure why you want to put a lien on the property. If you have been left the property, you shouldgo and get the deed. In order for the individual to leave you the property, they had to be named in the deed. In order for anyone to sell it after their death, they are going to have to get the probate court's permission. And the only person they will allow to sell it is the executor or the person it was left to. I would consult an attorney for the jurisdiction where the property is.


Can a recorded warranty deed be corrected to add a grantee?

No. The grantees in the deed are the new owners of the property. To add another grantee those new owners need to execute a new deed that conveys an interest to the one who was left out of the original deed. That's why deeds should always be drafted by a legal professional. Errors made by non-professionals can be costly to correct if they can be corrected.No. The grantees in the deed are the new owners of the property.

Your boyfriend died and left his house to you in his will but he forgot to take the deed out his daughter name so who owns the property?

Unfortunately, if the property was not owned by your boyfriend at the time of his death then his gift to you in his will is null and void. You cannot give what you don't own. If the property is in his daughter's name by virtue of a recorded deed then she is the owner of the property. Perhaps you should have the situation reviewed by an attorney.


If two names are on a deed and one person dies and the deed says they were tenants in common does anyone have rights to the dead tenant on deed?

If Patrick and Sean own property as tenants in common and Patrick dies then his next-of-kin will inherit his interest in the property unless he left a will devising it to a particular person. If there is no will his interest in the property will pass according to the state laws of intestacy. You can check the laws in your state at the link below.


Does a sheriff deed override a deed of trust?

Your question is complicated and needs a lot more detail for a more concise answer. Generally: A sheriff's deed is the result of a judgment lien. It indicates the land was actually siezed. It can create a cloud on the title to real estate even when recorded after the property has been conveyed if the conveyance was to avoid creditors. If it relates to a debt that was recorded prior to a mortgage in a state that uses deeds of trust for mortgages then it may override the deed of trust. If this refers to a conveyance deed to a trust and the trust was not drafted properly the real estate would be left exposed to creditors. If the debt predates the deed to the trust the sheriff's deed may override it. You may need to pay off the lien to remove the cloud on the title. You should have the situation reviewed by an attorney who specializes in real estate law. If the siezure was "good" the interest on the debt adds up quickly causing the pay back amount to grow. In Massachusetts the interest allowed is 12 percent.


Grandfather bought land years ago but never left a will or deed to his children who are now deceased. Can the land be claimed by his grandson?

Your grandfather's estate must be probated. Generally, if his children are deceased then title to the property would pass to his grandchildren according to the state laws of intestacy. You can check the laws in your state at the related question link provided below. You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in probate law and real estate law. The title to your grandfather's property must be examined to determine the status. There may be property tax due or the property may have been taken for delinquent taxes. Once the status has been determined and you have provided a list of next-of-kin the attorney can explain your rights and options.


Can I claim my grandfather's private property after his death?

You can't just claim his property. You may have a claim but the answer depends on several factors. Generally, if grandfather left a valid Will his property would pass under the provisions of the Will and you may be a beneficiary under the Will. If he owned property and didn't leave a Will then his property would pass to his heirs at law under the laws of intestacy in his jurisdiction. You may be an heir at law. In either case his estate must be probated.


Does title to real estate pass when a valid deed is signed and recorded?

Title to real property passes upon the death of the owner. However, the estate must be probated in order for legal title to pass to the heirs whether the decedent left a will or not. Title to real estate is also transferred when the owner executes a deed and delivers the deed to the new owner. The deed must be recorded in the land records.
