What is the name of your state? NC
My father passed away in March of 1997. My children, who were 9 and 11 at the time, inherited his land. I am the executrix of the estate. I had a probate attorney and at the time the will was going through probate he stated that the land could not go into the children's names as they were minors. They are both adults now and I'm being told that within 2 yrs of the youngest becoming an adult, the deed has to be transferred into their names or the land will be up for grabs for anyone. I contacted the register of deeds office in the county where the land is located and they stated they could not give legal advice. How do I go about getting a deed in my children's names without having to pay an arm and a leg for an attorney to do it. I am not very trusting of attorneys at this point in time.
Would I use a quit claim deed or is there another form that I can use to do this? Any information will be greatly appreciated.What is the name of your state?
