There is no fixed deadline to change the title to the property but the longer you wait, the more problems could arise. In order to have the title changed, a personal representative must be appointed by the County Surrogate. How that is done depends on whether or not your mother had a will when she died. Consult a lawyer near you who handles estate matters to discuss how to proceed. /p/ See also: http://info.corbettlaw.net/lawguru.htm
