Regardless of the desires of all the siblings / beneficiaries, a piece of property cannot simply be assigned to one person if a Last Will and Testament does not exist or specifically direct as much.As such, a parents’ home that is not covered by Last Will and Testament will have to go through Probate Court before ownership of that home can be transferred to an agreed upon beneficiary (as all property not covered by a Will must).
Once the probate process is accomplished, the property can be transferred to a single owner using a Quitclaim Deed. To easily create such a deed, see Standard Legal’s Quitclaim Deeds legal forms software package.
