Relative just passed away and had his name only on deed to house.
How do I go about changing name on deed to another relative.
Property is in New York?

Thanks

Son gets house - bgoing to probate court soon

The estate will have to go to probae court.

Probate court assigns an executor to represent the estate. The executor then signs a quit claim deed, giving title to the son.
