Yorba Linda, CA asked in Consumer Law, Real Estate Law and Probate for Nevada

Q: Dad died, left behind small timeshare property before adding mom's name. How to exact transfer of deed to my mom?

The property is in the state of Nevada where community property law applies. What steps need to be taken to transfer ownership of deed to my mom? I understand no probate needed -- correct? Does filing an Affidavit of Death of Spouse Holding Community Property apply in this situation? How do we get a newly notarized deed for my mom? Any help appreciated.

A: Sorry to disappoint, but since the timeshare in Nevada is considered real estate, the only procedure available is "Set Aside Without Administration." Most people will need a lawyer to do that. In addition to the fees and costs of the probate lawyer, the timeshare company may charge a title transfer fee.
