Discussion about
If a parent dies and the son (only heir) doesn't want to sell their home but just transfer the deed into his name does he file a quitclaim deed or a warranty deed? The property is in brooklyn. Thanks

Ask an attorney -- you don't want to get this wrong!

If there is a will, then the executor will take care of the deed.

If there is no will, then an administrator will take care of the deed. That's what you get when someone dies intestate--an administrator.

s220:

1. contact the Brooklyn Public Administrator's office and Surrogate's
Court for help

2. go see the law clerks: they are usually helpful
