Deceased Grantor on Quit Claim Deed (WIsconsin)
My family is wanting to add my name to a piece of land we own, however one of the grantors on deed is deceased, what now? The land was originally owned by my grandpa and grandma; in 2005 they added my mom to the deed; in 2017 my grandma passed away and to my knowledge they never officially removed her name from the deed. So now mom and grandpa want to add my name to the property and we were going to use a quit claim deed...
Are there any additional steps we need to take in preparation for this transaction, or do we simply take death certificate to county clerk? Any guidance is appreciated.
