Will
Asked on January 19, 2012 under Real Estate Law, North Carolina
Answered 13 years ago | Contributor
One can continue making the presumed morgage payments on a home that was left to a person via a Will without having the home placed in his or her name. However, I recommend that once the final distribution of the assets of the estate that the home was given under the Will that you are writing about are set forth in a court order, you have the court order transferring legal title to the home into your name recorded.
It is important for chain of title purposes concerning the home that the order of distribution issued by the court be recorded on this property sooner rather than later.
