There is no question here. However, in all likelihood, the answer to the question is that one would have to look at the language of the deed and the disclaimer to answer the question. You should consult with a real estate or probate attorney and provide them with the documents.
Probate complete says my deceased mom’s property is now me and my siblings property. Realtor says her previously deceased husband’s joint tenancy removal requires a certified copy of his death certificate. There was a Quit Claim Deed on the land, and my mother was the last to pass.
You don't say who is the grantor and grantee of the quit claim deed, which could affect the answer. You should determine where your mother's husband died and request a copy from the appropriate governmental agency. If he died in Oklahoma, it is the Oklahoma Department of Health. You... Read more »

No. There is no legal requirement that a quit claim deed be prepared or filed by an attorney. However, people often do no complete even a statutory form correctly.

You will need to hire a probate lawyer in Oklahoma to resolve this. His estate will go through intestacy and if there are no spouses not heirs then it looks back to parents. A lawyer in CA will not be able to help you unless they are also licensed in OK.
Yes - as the owner of the property you can sell or rent out the house without a license.

If I sign as a non-occupant co-borrower with my parents on a mortgage, do I automatically own the home/mortgage when they pass? Or with them being co-owners will it have to go to probate or my siblings have any claim to it?
You do not become an owner because you co-signed on a mortgage. You do remain liable on the debt if it is not paid. Title to the home is determined by the deed into your parents, typically either as joint tenants or tenants in common. When they die there will have to be a probate for the title to... Read more »

The short answer is that if the current tenant has no lease then there would be nothing to stop the church from raising the rent. This is a matter of contract law, so if the church wants to enter into a contract for lease at a higher monthly rent, they surely can do so. However, to be sure you... Read more »

I’m buying a home for cash the seller informed me their friend living there is giving them trouble about moving out, if the sale finishes and the closing date comes, how do I get the tenant out? They have no formal lease

The answer depends on how the property is held under the contract for deed and terms of contract for deed.
