[WSBARP] Departed husband

[Kary Krismer]

You'll just need to talk to a title company about the specifics. A 
number of different factors, (e.g. who paid any last medical expenses), 
can make a difference on whether they will allow a declaration in lieu 
of probate.  I found this Powerpoint presentation from 2012 a couple of 
months ago--I believe it's probably still fairly accurate.

I'm not really sure of your facts, but I believe for this determination 
to have any lasting effect you're going to have to insure the deed from 
the estate.  Otherwise the grantee kid will need to go through the 
process when they sell/encumber, and my guess is it's probably better to 
do it now, unless maybe the passage of time would help.
