[James B. Dolan]

Decedent had a handful of fairly interesting, very old firearms.  Looking
for someone to appraise and sell them for estate, preferably someone north
of Everett.  

 

Thanks in advance,

Subject: Re: [WSBARP] Title issue

 

Unless there is a defect in the deed, deceased brothers heirs have no
interest in the property. I would speak another title company/underwriter in
spite of their claim that "everyone does this".

 

Even if they are concerned about a claim,  the brother has been dead over 20
years. If his heirs had an issue with title in the name of sister they would
have objected years ago.

Subject: [WSBARP] Title issue

 

Colleagues and particularly those of you so skilled with title issues: I
have encountered a problem that I have never encountered before.

 

Title company is refusing to clear title for title insurance purposes on
property that was held as JTWROS. They are demanding that probate on 1st
deceased either be reopened or that all intestate heirs sign off on a
veritable lack of probate affidavit style series of documents that they
want.

 

Basic facts:

 

Mom died years ago. Deed from mom's PR to brother and sister as JTWROS was
recorded.  Brother died in 1995. Death certificate available. 

 

Probate opened, but of course this property did not go through probate. 

 

Good law firm so I assume that brother's death certificate was recorded or
provided, but of course, that is not available on-line.

 

Sister died in 2017. Sister's estate is selling the property. Preliminary
commitment says that property is vested in the heirs & devisees of both
(deceased) sister and brother.

 

Title company says it's a "matter of policy" that any loose (my word)
potential heirs of brother sign off for them to issue title insurance. They
won't recognize the JTWROS status - which is clearly set forth on the deed.

 

Title company tells me that every title company does this.  

 

Your thoughts?

 

Best, Claudia
