Death and Deeds

[GeorgiaMichelle]

My grandmother recently passed away. Last year we filed a survivorship warranty
deed, listing myself and my sister as the survivors. Do we need to do anything
with the deed? There are 3 properties in question. Two of them are side-by-side
properties and the other is in another county. We have received a new tax
assessment, due to owner change, from the county she lived in. If there is more
to be done, do we need a lawyer or can we handle this ourselves?

Your question makes no sense, so let me try to ease your confusion.

First, answer these questions:

When did grandma die?

When grandma died, what EXACTLY did the deed for the property say who owned what? (Don't use real names.)



The quick and easy answer is: Go to a title insurance company and have reports run on each piece of land. But I will help so answer my questions.
