<p class="MsoNormal">Was there actual delivery to the beneficiary before death or was this a “record after I die” situation. If deed was not delivered before death, then there was no valid conveyance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A lot will also depend on the title underwriter and if there are sufficient facts that would make them comfortable that delivery took place before death so they can insure the title. Keep in mind that there is a penalty for not paying
excise tax within 30 days of the date of the deed (if any excise tax was due such as if there was an outstanding mortgage).<o:p></o:p></p>
