San Antonio, TX asked in Real Estate Law for Texas

Q: how Can I get a car title/house deed into my name so I can get them insured-owner deceased.

I was put as beneficiary on her things but with her failing health we did not get around to changing title and deed but she gave the title/deed to me.

I have siblings who do not want to pay the insurance on these items but I am willing to pay the insurance and taxes.

A: The answer can vary greatly depending on the circumstances. Was this your mother? Was there anyone else ever on the deed? Will all siblings agree to let you have the real property and the vehicle, etc.? I suggest you contact a probate attorney or real estate attorney to assist with this.

You may be able to provide an affidavit to the DMV for title transfer; they have their own form; however, all heirs must sign it.
