Expert Advice When You Need It Most

I live in philadelphia I have letters of Admin. I want to put deed in my name. Everone signed off probate done.

I was told at city hall since I have letters of Administration I have to take that to title or realestate office with copy of deed and have them put it in my name and notarize it. Then take it to Office of records to record it. My mom died in 1992.Probate inherintance tax disclaimers have all been filed or done. I want to put deed in my name but keep being told there is another step each time i try to have it done. Is this the last and right step with letter of administration to realtor to put title in my name?

You need to retain a lawyer to complete this matter. It would appear that you need to have a new deed drafted. That deed needs to be done carefully since it is a transfer from an estate to a beneficiary. There are also related forms that must be filed with the city and possibly Harrisburg. This matter needs to be done carefully, if not when you later try to sell the property a title company may have problems with what you have done.

Hope this helps.
