The home was in both parents name (deed.) Both are deceased now.
How can the oldest sibling get the home in their name? Thank you

The home is paid for. No liens on property.
How does one of the siblings get their name on the deed when both parents die?

Is one of the children living in the home now, or is it standing empty? Was there a will? What location?

930j, please ask your question again on your own thread.

First, its not a good idea to piggy back your question on another thread. So your question has been moved to its own thread.

Adding a sibling to a deed is more complex issue than adding a spouse. We need more info to answer. First we need to know the general locale since laws vary by area.

We need to know wehter the sibling inherited the property by will or why you are adding their name. More background might help.

No one can 'add' their name to a deed when someone dies.
The property is either bequeathed in a will, or no will (intestate), the estate is probated and the state determines according to state law who inherits. Each state is different.

Yes, it will basically have to go though court

My mother just passed away and although she told me the house was mine, there is nothing in writing and she never was able to do a quit deed. Dad also deceased.
I am single. I have 3 married brothers. They said they do not care and I do not believe they will object to me being on the deed now. What steps do I need to do?

You must find the probate judge in the town where your mother lived and have her estate probated, which takes 2-3 months, especially if there is no will, and they will wait for next of kin (and any creditors, such as for nursing homes or unpaid property taxes) to come forward. State law will determine who gets her property if there is no will. If you and your siblings inherit, which it sounds like the case, then they have to give you their shares of the house. Probate can get more complicated if the estate of the parent who died first wasn't probated. You should also find out from the town how much in taxes are owed on the house, since they must be paid. You can't do all this very well long distance. You need notarized copies of the death certificate and so on. You can pay a lawyer or try to do what you can on the phone and then go there.

I've merged all your threads. When posting a follow-up question or info, please use the Answer options at the bottom of the page rather than the Comments.

If your mother died without a will, then the property passes to the heirs according to the laws of inheritance in your area. ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area.

The estate must be probated so ownership can be established. Once an administrator of the estate is appointed the other siblings may be able to relinquish their rights to the property or they can agree to transfer their interests in the property to you.
