Legal Answers
- Q. I need to have my wife added to a track of land I own in Mifflin county Pa. plus have the amount of acreage corrected.
- A: If there is a mortgage on the property, you will first need the lender’s consent. You will have to hire a surveyor to prepare a new legal description. You should then have a lawyer prepare a new deed for you, which, after execution, can be recorded. The new deed should include both the old and new legal descriptions. There will be a filing fee, but there should be no real estate transfer tax.
- Q. Want to block our driveway from neighbors using it cause we found out there is no right of way or easement.
- A: This is a complicated question, which needs to be reviewed with a lawyer. There are many missing facts.
- Q. In Pennsylvania do heirs receive inher. of a will if a bene. dies after the testator but before receiving their inher.?
- A: Please reference my original answer, which I believe to be correct. The presence or absence of a reference to per stripes is relevant only if the beneficiary died before the Testator, which, in this case, he/she did not.
Thus, as I said originally, based on the facts you presented, the share of the deceased beneficiary should pass to his/her estate.
