<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">I think that a realtor and/or title company may have confused this process. They told my client to put the Estate on as the “legal owner” in the Manufactured Home Application to eliminate title. It should
just list the decedent and the PR should sign as her PR. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">They have a policy that title cannot be eliminated unless the name on the MH Title is identical to the owner of the land.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D">I have no experience on this issue, as far as an estate eliminating title, but based on what you describe, and the fact that a county official is telling you their requirement, the path leads
to changing the mobile title into the name of the estate, and then proceeding with title elimination. Another case of the literal meaning of rules being applied unreasonably. A supervisor might be able to make the call, but at what price? Transferring the
title is not that involved or expensive. My main concern would be delay, that might cause loss of the sale.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D">The deed approach you describe does not solve the fact that the mobile title is in the name of the decedent.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Hi All:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Client is Personal Representative of his mother’s estate and is selling land with a mobile home. The buyer’s lender requires that we eliminate the title on the mobile and “affix” it to the land prior to closing.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">PR went to Department of Licensing with the original Title, a Title Elimination form filled out and Letters Testamentary and has been told that the Title to the mobile (now in mother’s name) and “title” to
the land must <u>both</u> be put into the name of the “Estate” before they can eliminate title. We can’t deed the land from her Estate to her Estate, so that absolutely doesn’t make sense.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">I need some help with the process. Does the PR have to have a new title for the mobile home issued in the name of the Estate?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
