[WSBAPT] Community property inheritance question

[Doris Eslinger]

I'm dealing with a similar situation at the moment except that ours is the
only marriage and the only child is from the marriage.  I have a contact at
Chicago Title that I consult with regularly and in our case, we record a
lack of probate affidavit and Chicago Title requires a separate affidavit in
order to issue title insurance to the child.  I'd be happy to share the
senior title officer's contact information if you'd like it.

 

Regards,

Subject: [WSBAPT] Community property inheritance question

 

A client bought a home with her husband in 1991.  This was a second marriage
for both and they both had kids.  He died intestate in 2007, and she just
died testate.  Her estate is pretty simple and her only heir is her
daughter.  Now we need to clear title to the home, which I believe would be
community property and would belong to the first decedent's surviving spouse
(my client).  Is this as simple as an affidavit of lack of probate?  

 

Thanks for your thoughts on this.
