[WSBAPT] House co-owner dies intestate

[Paul Neumiller]

I must be missing something here because, if you have everyone’s agreement and they are willing to sign something, then why not just get quitclaim deeds from everyone stating that the purpose is to “clear title” and be done with it?

I think following along with Eric's suggestion, you have your client appointed PR, sign off on agreement re: TEDRA, PR files deed as PR for the estate grantor to PR as self grantee and in accordance with TEDRA agreement.  Close estate.

Hi, again,

 

Yesterday I met with the clients described below.  They think that getting a signed agreement is very possible.  The next step is to figure out the step in between a TEDRA order (that the property belongs to the son) and an actual clearing of title.  What would the order have to include to convince a title company to clear title to the co-owner son?  I appreciate your thoughts.

In 1999 X bought a house with his son as TIC.  The deed specifies that X’s share is his separate property.  The son lives in the house and has paid all mortgage payments, taxes, etc.

In 2001 X died intestate.  He left 10 adult children and his wife, who is not their mother.  No probate.

In 2016, the co-owner son wants to refinance his mortgage and needs to clear title.

Most of his siblings are available and would agree that the house is his.  One sibling is non-responsive/refusing/reluctant.  Another sibling is in another country and not reachable (so far). 

I believe that if the siblings and the wife all agree we could do a TEDRA agreement.  If they don’t all sign on, what???  I’m thinking a quiet title?  Help?
