[WSBAPT] Probate real property transfer

[Inge Fordham]

If the title co. won’t accept a LOPA, you may need to commence a joint probate for H and W.  I agree with trying a LOPA first (as it would save a ton of money).  Unfortunately, some title companies may still require probate.  Good luck!

Subject: [WSBAPT] Probate real property transfer

I feel like this is a relatively straight-forward question but I’m stuck and hoping for help. Thanks so much in advance for your time!

Husband and wife own real property as a married couple.
Husband dies in 1991. The estate is probated. Wife is the PR and presumably the sole beneficiary of the estate. Wife never transfers the title to her name alone.
Wife dies in 2009. PR (daughter) of Wife’s estate wants to transfer title by QCD to the appropriate beneficiary (herself).

Since Daughter wasn’t PR of Dad’s estate, what is the correct method to effect a complete title transfer?
