If he signed a quit claim deed assigning his interest to your Mom then the house belongs to her. You should get a probate on file asap. As her only child you are her natural heir and the house should go to you but you have to have a Court determine that. Good Luck!

My mom and dad own my mobile home here in Oklahoma City. My dad passed away about five years ago and my mom wants to know what we need to do to put in my name.
It depends on how things are set up. If it is for the land that the trailer is located that could be a simple quit claim deed. If there is a lender involved then you will have to deal with them directly.

However, generally he cannot simply sell it without you consent since you are also on the deed. However, you do... Read more »
Property is unoccupied. Deed says lots 16, 17, 18. Trying to buy land from John Doe and he says he has to get Sue Smith to agree. I think Mr. Doe is in danger of losing his property if Ms. Smith wanted to take it from him since the deed is and/or. Please help.

The will must be admitted to probate to be effective. If he died with no will, the children of the deceased child... Read more »

It is if your want to own the property as tenants in common, that is each owning a 1/4 undivided interest. If you want to own the property as joint tenants, you would need additional language specifying exactly who are joint tenants with whom.
