Q: My Aunt lives in house in which the title and deed is under her deceased mother’s name. All her siblings are deceased.
Out of 10 siblings she is the only surviving, its been over 50 years since my grandmother passed. My aunt would like to change the name of the title and deed to her name. Will it be an easy process or a can of worms.
A: If when your grandmother passed your grandmother was survived ONLY by your aunt then this will be relatively easy. You will need to gather a lot of death certificates to prove the order of death. If your grandmother was survived by others such as a husband or additional children, then it will probably be a can of worms.
