Since there is no outstanding loan on the property, you, as the Personal Representative, will need to execute and record a Quitclaim Deed, wherein the Estate is the Grantor and the beneficiaries of the Estate are the Grantees (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 30-2476). It is best to use an attorney to ensure property title is transferred (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 30-2471).

I’m sorry to hear about your mother’s passing; that can be a difficult situation. What state are you located in, as the requirements for transferring property can vary?
Nebraska.
Lexi, Chatbot
Have you already gone through the probate process for your mother’s estate?
No.
Lexi, Chatbot
Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your property transfer.
No.

My name is Jessica and I am a licensed attorney that will be assisting you with your question. I am so sorry to hear about your mother's passing; that can be a difficult situation. Have you already gone through the probate process for your mother's estate in Nebraska?
I have done an informal probate.
Jessica B
Is the probate estate still open with the court?
No. I was to close on 10/20/2025 but I didn’t and they informed me I had a year in which to do so or the process will have to start all over.
Jessica B
Is there an outstanding mortgage on the property?
No. She owned the property.
Jessica B
Okay, and are you the court-appointed executor?
I am the Personal Rep.

So instead of putting her name as the grantor put the estate?
Jessica B
Correct.
I’m sorry, so when it asks for the owner, put “Estate” and the address?
Jessica B
Correct, and state you are the Personal Representative.
Where would I put “Personal Rep”?
Jessica B
“Joe Doe, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Jane Doe.”
Okay, when it comes up it is asking about grantor name, address, marital status. Then it asks for new owner information. I’m so confused right now.
Jessica B
Correct. The Estate is the owner and the beneficiaries of the Estate are the new owners.
I have one filled out. So I went back and replaced her name with mine as Personal Rep for her. I will also be the new owner.
Jessica B
Okay, you are the only child?
Yes.
Jessica B
Then you are the sole Grantee listed on the deed.
Yes.
Jessica B
That is correct.
Thank you so much for your help. I had the right form, just didn’t have it filled out correctly.
Jessica B
No problem. Please let me know if I may be of assistance in the future. Thank you.
I will, thank you.
