You need to go down to your local property office and provide a death certificate.  For a small fee they will update your deeds.

The answer depends upon the state where the parents had their domicile at the time of their deaths. Where did they live? Intestate (without a will) estates are the subject of state laws, so there are in fact, 50 different answers to your question. In some states it is rather simple and inexpensive to resolve such a matter, and in other states it is unfortunately not so. I would suggest going to a nearby law library (such as at a law school or in a county courthouse) where you can probably find information that would help. And no, it's not rocket science. With a few minutes time you would be able to read and understand some of the basics of whatever state you're in. You could also probably get some of the basic information from the local clerk of court.

She will have to go through the court process to distribute the assets he has left.  Everything has to go through the state if there is no will.  I would suggest she call an attorney and a certified public accountant.  The attorney will be able to tell her how and where to file papers to the state.  The CPA will tell her what she needs to do to file his final tax return and the Estate Tax Return (if needed).  If he doesn't have much say maybe a house and a car or something small then she shouldn't have to do much.  If he has a lot of stocks, bonds, savings accounts, retirement, etc.  she should definately hire an attorney.  Check your state laws for more specific details of forms and steps to take.  I'm sorry to hear about her loss.  You are a good friend to help her anyway you can.

you need to hire an attorney who can draft a new deed.\n\nThe cost should not be any more than a couple hundred dollars plus filing fees because the new deed has to be recorded in the county clerk's office.

O.K., you need to tell me more details. Like what state you're in and what kind of estate you're dealing with. I work in title so I can resolve your question, I just need way more information...Was there a will, did the landowner die intestate, were there any heirs, have there been suits of use and possession filed.....too much to list, to answer this you need to start from the beginning. e-mail me and we can maybe get this resolved...Provided the will is simple heirship and the estate has no debts, the executor does not have to file.

Possibly yes after a person dies the debt collectors go after the estate. So if her name was on the deeds the might be able to. It is something to talk to a lawyer about.

check with the local courts,, start with probate , if the will was filed inm court it will be public record,if not you can file a claim in probate court for the will

Every state has laws that govern how property is divided when someone dies without a will.  In most states, dad would get the house completely.  You really should check with a probate/estate planning attorney in your state.

You have to find out of your grandmother has a will. Everything will go to whom ever she names. You will not be able to do anything about it.

All his assets are part of the estate.  If you abandon it, the state has laws that determine who "takes" and in what order, and those will be applied in the same manner as bankruptcy.  For instance, the mortgage company is the first taker on the property.  Why?  B/c they are 'secured' having filed a document with the state that 'secures' the debt.  that is why you will hear credit cards referred to as 'unsecured debt' - b/c no asset secures the debt.  If you want to abandon it, go ahead.  But, having visited his property, you might have problems with creditors saying you took assets away.\nAnd no, you do not need to have a lawyer to clean up the mess.  I do not know how exactly to deal with all of that, but I would at least send copies of the certificate to the credit reporting agencies (addresses available at the FTC's website).\nIf you are named executor in his will, you can refuse, but you might need to file an appearance with a local probate court - though note that 'an appearance' means filing a document, not actually appearing.  I would check with a lawyer on this brief matter, b/c that might make you open to personal jurisdiction, which you don't want.

Start with your local police.  You do not need to be someone's blood relative to be named as an executor of a will or trustee of an estate.

Contact a family attorney. Chances are you can do a petition to the courts on grounds of Abandonment as it has been 2 yrs since they spoke to him so he hasn't been in their life but basically the judge would have to give permission to change their name.\n IN MD KY and GA 1 yr with no communication is considered abandonment

Unfortunately, if it wasn't written in the divorce decree, I don't think you'll be able to get anything from it. Remember, he is your ex, which means you have no ties to his pension. I know about this because of my divorce. Everything, including my pension, that was of value was put into my divorce documents. It also stated that from this point forward, everything was separate. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I would Report him to the bar in the state he does business. That will get his attention. Ask the the bar asc. How long it takes to close an estate in their state and ask for their guidance.

Your question only brings more questions to mind. How do you know there is a Will? Is it a large estate? Is an Attorney already involved? Has anyone contacted you in this regard and who?\nIf you found a Will, I would suggest you take it to an Attorney.

Your mother does have a will, it was just written by the state legislature.  Probate court is not really something you can avoid at this point in this case.  You cannot switch the title to your name without going through probate.

You need to go to probate court and submit a Petition for Appointment of Special Administrator with Powers to marshall and conserve the assets of the estate until a personal representative is appointed. Personnel in the Probate Division where you are should be able to help you.
