Q: I'm the Executor on estate. What paperwork do I need to complete to change deed of property from dad to sister?
There are two properties. I'm selling one and want to give other to my sister. Wanted to take of this after closing, as I'll be paying off due taxes on both properties at the time. I've run out of money and need to know what paperwork do I need to complete to do this as the executor.
A: To transfer the properties, you will need to have deeds prepared. However, there is a great deal of other paperwork associated with an estate. You will need to consult a lawyer to help you through this.
A: You/your sister should contact the recorder of deeds. You should then get a consultation with an attorney who handles estates--assuming the property is worth something it's worth paying for the consultation--the reason to go to the recorder of deeds is to do a lot of the legwork first so you maximize your consultation.Your sister should be involved in selection, meeting, so down the road if there's a problem she can't blame you.
