[WSBAPT] PR Deed Question

[David Faber]

Client is PR for mother's estate. Mother died in 2015. Mother's spouse died
about 5 or 6 years ago. The couple owned a house as a marital community.
After first spouse died, the mother never executed/recorded any deeding
instrument transferring the real property to her name. Now, PR is trying to
deed the property to one of the heirs in accordance with the terms of the
Mother's will. Because the real property is/was community property, should
I be concerned about first spouse's name being on title when I prepare a PR
deed transferring the property out of the mother's estate? I'm just worried
about there being an oddity in the title report if we never evidence what
happened to first spouse's interest.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Best,
David J. Faber
