Q: My grandparents passed. No will was left. How can my dad get the house in his name?
My dad's brothers aren't interested in the house but also don't want to sign it over. We have been living in this house over 30 years, since before my grandparents passed.
A:
Hello and thank you for using Justia. You Will need to file in Court a judicial process for Declarations of Inheritors. Once the Court has issued a Resolución, the next step is to file the Inheritance Tax Return requesting a Tax Reléase. With said Tax Reléase the property Inheritors will be registered in the Property Registry Department under all the Inheritor's names.
Now the Inheritor's can decide what to do with the property. They can sell to each other, sell to a third party or give it away.
If you need additional information please feel free to contact me directly.
