[WSBAPT] Removing Deceased Father's Name from Deed

[John Creahan]

My answer to virtually all probate/real estate questions is “talk to the title insurance company.” The title company may be willing to insure title if you record the final divorce decree or something similar.
The “legal” answer doesn’t really matter if you can deliver insured title.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Removing Deceased Father's Name from Deed

Hello colleagues:

My client is the administrator of his mother estate.  I cannot transfer the house to him and his brother as instructed in the Will because the name of their deceased father is still on the deed.  His mother and father divorced in 1972 and she got the house as her separate property, but father never executed a quit-claim deed.  How do I get the father’s name off the deed?

Thanks for the help.
