Re: transfer of deed to a dead person
The property became that of the mother when she accepted the deed, not when the deed was recorded. The recording simply puts "the world" on notice that the mother owns the property. I would suggest you consult with a local attorney who can review the facts and documents. He/she may uncover something that is important.
