Q: Which type of Deed(s), affidavit(s) /waiver(s) is needed to convey & allow 1 heir to transfer/relinquish their interest?
Only 2 heirs , no mortgage. One heir is also Personal Representative. There’s no additional unpaid debts or reason to sell house & 1 heir wants to sign over their portion of the property.
A:
We really cannot give specific legal advice in a forum like this. There are too many possible variables to provide a 'definitive' answer.
You need to consult with a local real estate / probate attorney to insure things are handled properly. Don't be 'penny wise and pound foolish' about this -- having an attorney prepare a deed is both inexpensive in the grand scheme of things and will avoid issues later on. I can't begin to count the number of 'errors' or issues I've spotted when doing deeds. Don't sell yourself short by refusing to hire a good local attorney!
