Q: Do I qualify for survivorship?
My name is posted online as the second owner and in the recorders office. My quickclaim was recorded and I have a reciept. What is needed to change myself to the primary owner? My family says a probate is needed, but online I read survivorship. Also my mother was ill and used alias names as she forgot or anxious when dealing with legal work. And my name has an error in the recorders office. What are my options. I just want to do this once and the right way. Thank you.
A: It is not possible to answer your question without reviewing the deed and obtaining additional information. Your best bet is to contact a local real estate attorney and schedule a personal consultation.
