What is the name of your state? Oklahoma
My brother died, was never married, no children, and living with my mother. The house they lived in was in his name only. Mother never had the deed changed to her name and now she is in poor health in the nursing home. She has three living children. When something happens to her, we will sell the house and land. Can it be sold while still in my deceased brother's name or does it need to transferred into mother or preferably the living children names. I'm thinking it will automatically transfer to us upon her death but will it need to be probated or name transferred before we can sell.
