[WSBAPT] Real Property in Probate

[Heather deVrieze]

If this is a situation of a true quit claim, i.e. son 2 is entitled to his ½ of the property, isn’t getting non-pro rata distribution of other estate assets and is simply “giving” his interest to his brother, I would distribute from estate (Personal Representative deed to both sons) then have son 2’s QCD recorded.

If there is something else going on, my answer might be different.

Subject: [WSBAPT] Real Property in Probate

Dear Real Property guru,

Probate procedure will distribute a real property to Son 1 and Son 2 equally.
Son 1 is the PR.
Before completion of the probate, Son 2 will execute a QCD to Son 1.
Question:
1.  Should the PR's deed just distribute the real property to just Son 1 since Son 2 has already executed a QCD for the benefit of Son 1?
2.  Should the PR still distribute the real property to Son 1 and Son 2 equally on PR's deed and let the QCD operate and Son 2's after acquired interest go to Son 1?
3.  What is the title company's perspective?
Thank you.
Best regards,
