tranfer title from deceased great grandfather and grandfather

[tranquility]

A quitclaim gives up all the grantors rights to a property. Which person is going to give up all his rights giving you clear title?

Great granddad. But, he's dead. The only person who can make a quitclaim deed which will clear up title is dead. It's very difficult to legally get the signature of a dead person.

Q:my father has sole power of attorney? trustee?


A: POA dies with the person who gave it; the land (according to you) is not in the trust.



Q: Does anyone know why my great grandfather is listed as owner and grandfather as contact or what it means, whats the difference?

A: Without looking at what you are looking at, I couldn't say.


Q: any way to tranfer title to father then quitclaim to me. there is no family problems or disagreements to complicate this.

A: You need a lawyer. (Is there an echo in here?) BUT go get that title report first. You are stumbling around in the dark.

(FULL DISCLOSURE: I do not sell title insurance but I sure have bought a lot of it!)

I know you guys are getting sick of me so I will get to my last question.

The land is worth less than it would cost to do this the way you all are giving great advice to do.

So ASSume, that I just want to get my name on the title somewhere, a foot in the door, an honorary mention. Not necessarly clear the title of grandpa and granfather. I pay the taxes $15 a year, I go camping once a year. What could be the harm, or regrets in doing so.

How could I do this?

What is the name of your state? Oregon

20 acre land malheur county oregon
great grandfather name listed as owner
grandfather name listed as contract
both deceased
My father and his brother are named as trustees to grandparent living will
land is not in the trust because of lack of value and clear title?
land value $2000+/-
I have the same last name as father,grandfather, and greatgrandfather
My father and his brother are willing to gift me the land, but due to the lack of value I do not want to spend the money for a lawyer.
I have death certificates for grandparents and doc. showing father and his brother as trustees to the living family trust.
Also blank quitclaim deed forms.
any advice?
ThanksWhat is the name of your state?

Are there OTHER heirs, besides yourself? Having "the same last name" gives you no greater entitlement than an heir with a different last name. Land passing only to MALE heirs is a kinda medieval concept.

 

[joelfreud]

don't mistake the statement about the last name, for a gender thing,
just a statement of fact,
the other heirs, or heirass are aware of the property, and not interested.
It's a very short list of 7 in all. All aware and none interested.

and I have already got the "get a lawyer advice",
anything else?,
no disrepect to the women, lawyers, or advice given.... or people giving

Q: what could the county assessor help me with?

A: Nothing that I know of (other than tell you what it is assessed for).

Given the very small population, extremely small population density, large amount of federal holdings and large tracts, it is possible the assessor in such a county has previously dealt with small holders with title issues and could suggest a course of action or at least be a resource of free local information such as the name of a lawyer known in the circles of county government.
