Q: How to transfer deed to inherited property in Georgia?
I am the administrator and an heir of my father's estate. The court has named me the administrator, and there is a will that specifically mentions the property. I have already gone through probate, and there are no other heirs with claims to the property. What is the process for having the deed to my father's home changed into my name?
A: You can draft an administrators deed that transfers the property into the name of the beneficiary listed in the Will.
A: If you are acting as administrator pursuant to an administration with will annexed, you will need to sign an administrator's deed to the party listed in the will as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of the real estate. If you are acting as administrator because the will is invalid or unenforceable, the real estate should be transferred to all of your father's heirs according to the laws of intestacy. Schedule a free consultation to ensure you take the right steps to transfer the property.
