Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan

My father was a resident of Michigan when he died a few years ago and he had no will. My 2 siblings and I agreed, and our Aunt has been appointed personal representative of his estate in Michigan. He owned a home in Michigan. I have been paying all expenses and taking care of the property for the last 3 years. My siblings do not want the obligation of the property and want to sign their interest over to me as I would like to keep it in the family for all of our children (which is why I've been taking care of it). What is the process for this? Are quit claims acceptable or is it more involved then that?

If the home is solely in your father's name, your Aunt would have to sign fiduciary deeds to transfer the property. First to you and your siblings, then they may sign quit claim deeds transferrring thier interest to you. There are some details to be considered for the probate portion of the estate. Please call or e-mail or discuss with me in more detail. 586-868-5100 or [email protected]
