My grandchildren's grandmother (on their father's side) passed away two months ago. They are her only heirs because their father is also deceased. Can the deed to her house be put in their names so they can live in the house, and how is it done without a high expense? They are 14 and 15, and their primary guardian is their mother. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The house should be put in a trust for them. But it can be left in the estate and they can still live there. However, if there are any debts left over they will have to be paid.

Yes, as scott said it will have to go though probate basic where it can be put in a trust, be deeded to them after all of the bills and expenses are paid first. There would be a trustee appointed to care for it.
