[WSBAPT] Clearing Title Following Prior Closed Probate

[Setareh Mahmoodi]

Good afternoon,

Husband and wife owned two properties. Wife passed away in 2009, and Husband opened and administered her estate through intestate probate. Husband was the sole beneficiary, and there were no children involved.

Husband has now passed away, and his brother is serving as PR of his estate and is also the sole beneficiary. During the administration, we discovered that Wife’s name remains on title to both properties. It appears that no PR deeds were ever prepared or recorded during the 2009 probate to clear her name from title.

What would be the quickest and cleanest way to clear title and transfer both properties to Husband’s brother?

I’d appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks so much!


Best regards,
