What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My mom passed away a few years ago and her house was deeded over to my brother and I. He has moved to Texas over a year ago, and recently has wanted to sell it. I am living in the house, and have been the one taking care of it for over year, and paying the mortgage on it. He has also threatened to kick me out which i believe he cannot legally do...
Now i have offered to buy him out on his half...i have gotten the house appraised already...my brother has gotten a basic form online about him selling his half and said to sign it, and we will get it notarized. I will probably just send him a cashier check for the amount that is his....Is there anything else i need done? What is needed to get his name off the deed of the house? Is this a legal way to do it or do we need to get an actual attourney? Any info about this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Cheers
