<p>I see an answer has already been given (lack of excise tax
affidavit), but my question would be how necessary was this to do
at the current time, as opposed to later when you want to sell?
We once had a client husband unexpectedly die during a listing and
that didn't hold up the transaction at all.</p>
<p>That listing actually lead to one of my favorite stories about
real estate agents. As you're all probably aware RE agents tend
to be the type who want things done immediately, if not sooner.
On this listing I had to convince the buyer's agent that her
client's offer should expire the next day, because my client
probably didn't want to consider it on the same day that her
husband died. It took some convincing, but the agent finally
agreed.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Last year we recorded a death certificate
to transfer title to the surviving joint tenants. The
coversheet contained the Decedent as Grantor, the surviving
Joint Tenants as Grantees, properly referenced the deed
creating the joint tenancy with right of survivorship and the
tax parcel ID. County assessor has not picked up the
recording with the decedent’s name still on title. Have any
of you had this happen in the past. Do I just write the
assessor and provide them a copy of the recorded death
certificate?<o:p></o:p></p>
