FAQ
If the deceased was sole owner, or co-owned the property without right of survivorship, title passes according to his will. Whoever the will names as the beneficiary to the house inherits it, which requires filing a new deed confirming her title. If the deceased died intestate -- without a will -- state law takes over.
If the quitclaim deed requires the signature of all co-owners, the deed is invalid unless all co-owners have signed it and the deed is then delivered to the grantee.If one individual owns real estate and desires to add a co-owner such as a spouse, a quitclaim deed might be used.
This life estate deed is a document that transfers ownership of real property, while reserving access and use of the property for the duration of the grantor's life. It allows the original owner (grantor) to remain on the premises with full access to and benefits from the property.
If one co-owner dies, their interest in the property automatically passes to the surviving co-owner(s), whether or not they have a will. As tenants in common, co-owners own specific shares of the property. Each owner can leave their share of the property to whoever they choose.
To accomplish this, you need to have the life estate deed that shows you have the right to own the property after the life estate holder dies. Using the information in this deed, along with the deceased's death certificate, you can prepare and record the required title transfer document to clear title.

So long as the quitclaim deed is valid (properly notarized, etc.) it can be recorded even after the grantor's death, so property owned by the deceased which has been deeded in that quitclaim deed should not need to pass through probate.
If it was inherited, succession law comes into play. Once the beneficiaries and their shares, rights and liabilities are decided, the property has to be transferred in their names. For this you need to apply for property transfer at the sub-registrar's office.
