Re: change of property deed
A deed from your mother to you will transfer whatever interest she has in it. However, there are important tax considerations to evaluate.
To have the court records show a chain of title from your grandmother to you, affidavits of heirship can be made and filed in the Chancery Court to preserve evidence that your mother was the sole heir. At some point in time, the title insurance companies may be satisfied with that. However, a suit to determine your mother's heirship may be necessary at some point.
