[WSBAPT] Possible adverse possession claim?

[Setareh Mahmoodi]

Hello,

I just wanted to brainstorm to see what remedies or options other than AP,
if any, are available under the scenario below:

PC's mother passed away intestate about eight years ago, her only major
asset was her home. She was survived by her two children, one of which is
severely mentally disabled. The other daughter paid the property taxes
every year and now wants to transfer title to herself. There was never a
probate opened.

I feel that the other heir's disability is an issue here for AP. The other
option I see is to open a probate and probate normally, however, I feel
that PC might want to avoid that. I don't feel right about it. Any comments
or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
