Living in a House in Worcester that’s Still in a Deceased Loved One’s Name?

You may be paying the bills — but legally, the property hasn’t transferred yet. We help heirs secure the deed properly and move forward with clarity.

If your parent, grandparent, or loved one passed away and the house is still in their name, you’re not alone.

You might be:

  • Living in the home
  • Paying taxes and insurance
  • Maintaining the property
  • Sharing ownership with siblings

But legally, the title hasn’t changed.

And that can prevent you from:

  • Selling the home
  • Refinancing
  • Transferring ownership
  • Protecting your share

We help heirs legally transfer property out of a deceased loved one’s name and into the heirs’ names.

That process is called probate.

But what we really provide is:

  • Clarity
  • Protection
  • Proper legal ownership
  • Peace of mind

At the Law Office of Polly Tatum, we guide you step-by-step so you understand what’s happening and what to expect.

Schedule a consultation to learn:

  • Whether probate is required
  • What your next step should be
  • How long the process may take
