Help! Cloudy Title on Property

Sam Booth
Posted

Off market property that sellers have agreed to sell to me. But the parents divorced and the dad put his share of the property into a trust that was to go to the 2 sons. Then the father died and the mother died. Now I am trying to buy the property but the title company is saying the mother's interest should have gone through probate. The sons say they never did probate because the fathers Trust deeded the property to them. California. Any way to deal with this? What about a quitclaim deed from each son and then a quite title? Would that work??? Help if you can! Never had some complex title issues before.
