Q: In CA do I need to quitclaim a condo to the estate and then quitclaim from the estate to a person? How doI sign 1st one?
A:
Your probate attorney should be helping you with this one. If you do not have a probate attorney, then you probably need one. These are not do-it-yourself projects.
To answer your first question, no, the executor does not have to change title of real property from the name of a decedent owner to the decedent's estate.
To answer your second question, no, it is ordinarily not a deed of any kind that is used to distribute real property to the heir(s) as determined by the court. (However, a deed might be used if selling the property to an unrelated party, not an heir, but you would need a court order approving the sale.)
