Inheritance of house

[REB0719]

My Dad recently passed away and the house was in his name and mine. Now I am wondering what steps I must take either with the federal goverment of Pennsylvania. What are the steps do I have to take? What forms do I need to fill out and who do they go to? Can this done without having to hire a lawyer? Is this type of information easily found on the web, so far I haven't had any luck finding. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Sorry for your loss. Can you alaborate on what you are trying to do? Are you trying to remove his name from the loan and deed?

My dad passed....

So I also have a similar problem and can't find any answers. My dad passed away and the house I live in is under mine and his name. I assumed it would just drop to me but my mom btought it up since she is having some issues. Who can I contact or find more about transferring the deed to just my name? The bank called me after he passed (this was quite some time ago) and when I told them he passed they said 'ok we'll call you back" and never did!! Is there a statute of limitations on filing the transfer or the tax waiver and if there is what is it? Also what are the problems that can come up now? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
