Deed transfer question

David Telp

I have a deal scheduled for closing and my realtor told me the title company says their may be an issue with the deed transfer. I am in the middle of a Doyle close. I have a house under contract and I have a buyer lined up. I have a motivated seller they are the daughter and son who mom passed away. They are the survivors and are the executors of the estate. The deed is still in the moms name and not there's. I need to know what can be done to complete this deal. I have a lawyer telling me he needs to contact them and set up there estate in order to get this deal done. Is there any strategy I can use to close this deal or is transferring the deed to their names the only way.

In my state in order to transfer their names to the deed they have to go through probate.  The attorney I use stated their are 2 probate options.  Sounds like they may qualify for the shorter option. But even the shorter option is still going to take 30 days.   Wish I could tell you something different  @David Telp
