A: You may be better off reposting under the "Real Estate" category. I'm sorry your question remains open for two weeks, given the urgency of the matter. It was probably overlooked under the "Government Contracts" heading. Some questions do go unanswered on this forum, but you would have better chances of a response from someone with insight into deeds by reposting under the "Real Estate" heading. Since you mention an estate, you might also consider adding the categories of "Probate" and "Estate Planning" to cover all bases. Good luck
