Michael -

What you described sounds reasonable - however, depending on the factors (size of estate, county, etc.) I might consider seeking a motion to transfer property by Court order.

I have never done it for this specific situation, but it is what I use when it is discovered that Spouse 1 died and the surviving spouse did nothing and so now we have a probate for Spouse 2 (after their death, obviously) and the PR discovers that Spouse 1 is still listed. I have a simple petition where I lay out the facts to the Court, and fall on the sword of efficiency and justice and ask for a Court order that states that Black Acre Farm is hereby permitted to be transferred directly into Wife's RLT.

As I am writing this, I am not taking into consideration any other issue that may be presented by doing this - but simply the most efficient way to get Black Acre into the RLT.

Good luck!!

Hi,
Sorry. I was not clear that a probate for H had already started, so I cannot do a joint probate.

Michael, Where does the RLT transfer the real property when W dies? One thought is to open a join t probate for H & W and us a PR’s deed to transfer the property directly to where it would go pursuant to the trust agreement. ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

Subject: [WSBAPT] How to transfer W's real property interest

H died, and W inherited Real Property. W has an RLT, but W dies before the Property is Deeded to her—the recorder will not allow a direct deed to the RLT.

Is the Process to open up Wife's Probate and Deed H's interest in the Real Property to her (even though she is dead?  Then PR of W's estate to Deed to her RLT?

(Or can you deed to an RLT, which is now irrevocable due to W's death?)

Thanks Mike Atkins
