A:
If you mother was unmarried, and you are her only child, then you can file an affidavit for transfer and record of real estate inherited. This will transfer her interest to you. Here is a model ford for cuyahoga. You will need a county specific form for wherever the property is located. https://cuyahogacms.blob.core.windows.net/home/docs/default-source/fiscal-library/forms/affidavittransferrecordrealestateinheritedform.pdf?sfvrsn=6e483f9f_3
If one or more of the first parts aren't true, then you may need to open a probate estate for your mother to transfer her property interest to you.
