My dad and I bought a house in 1997. In 2002, my dad refinanced the house and took my name off it. He passed away in 2005. I am the personal representative of his estate. I have rented out the house for the past 3 years. The mortgage is still in my dads name and i have been paying it each month. I now want to sell the house and move out of state. How do I do this? I want to get a home equity loan on it so I can fix it up before I sell it. I know I need to put the deed in my name at the county clerks office but what do I file? Do I file a personal representatives deed or a quit claim deed?
Based on the facts you present, a personal representative deed should work for you to give you title to the property which can then be transferred as needed.
I recommend that you consult and attorney for complete view of the facts and circumstances to ensure that you do not cost yourself thousands of dollars by trying to save a few hundred.
