Legal Answers
30 Questions Answered
- Q. Q_ Was in probate, but lawyer quit. I was given adm. of estate June24,2020. I need title & deed in my name
- A: 15 OS 62 is part of the Oklahoma Simplification of Land Titles Act. Generally, it is a statute which allows title attorneys to rely upon final decrees or executor's deeds that have been filed of record for more than 10 years where nothing appears of record controverting the title. It allows them not to have to review the proceedings which resulted in the decree or deed. Real Property can be sold out of the estate by following the appropriate procedure in the probate code, or it can be distributed by the court and then the persons taking through the final decree can do with the property as they wish. To get the title in your name, the probate needs to be finsihed.
- Q. Do I automatically own the home/mortgage if I am a non-occupant co-borrower when my parents pass?
- A: You do not become an owner because you co-signed on a mortgage. You do remain liable on the debt if it is not paid. Title to the home is determined by the deed into your parents, typically either as joint tenants or tenants in common. When they die there will have to be a probate for the title to the real estate to be marketable. The assets of their estates pass either by will or by the laws of intestacy. If they have wills, the beneficiaries of the wills get the assets as provided in the wills. If no wills and living children, the children share equally. If you are paying on the mortgage, you may have a claim against the estate. If the parties want some other result, you would need to contact an attorney to review the status of title and determine the best way to get you to where you want to go.
- Q. What if the parent has been estranged for 10 or more years? Does the sibling have rights?
- A: Unsure what the question relates to. inheritance rights do not diminish because of distance or estangement.
