Q: Mom lived in Va & owned property in NC. I’m the beneficiary & live in Va. What are the steps to transferring to me?
My mother lived & died in Va. The will has been probated in Va without any issues. My brother & I are co-executors to her Estate. We have a letter of qualification from the clerk of court. I live in Va in the same county as her. My brother lives in Ala. We are the sole beneficiaries. She owned a small piece of undeveloped property in N.C. Everything in her estate is paid for & the is no outstanding debt. What is the procedure for having the deed transferred to us?
A:
A certified copy of the will and the probate file must be filed with the clerk of court in the county where the real property is located and an order or probate entered there. Depending on the county, there are sometimes es additional steps that must be taken. Feel free to co text me if you need assistance.
Best regards,
