My two sisters and I own a huge piece of land and the homes on them (no mortgage). Our grandfather willed it to us before he passed. It is supposed to be split 3 ways equally, but it is only recorded as my 2 sisters owning all of it. I need to put my name on one third of the title. How would I go about doing this without affecting property taxes, etc. As of now, because of the grandfather law, none of us pay any taxes at all. This is in CA.
Assuming all 3 of you are in agreement and your sisters are joint owners, all you need to do as get yourself added on as a tnenat in common. It just costs the filing fee with the county clerk recorder (like $14) .Your sisters need to bring you in as a tenant in common, since you weren't included initially. Your local county clerk recorder can provide you with the forms, and they need to be notarized before you take them back to the county clerk to record. Hope this helps.
Get a copy of your Grandfather's will and you and your sisters go to county courthouse and they can add your name to the title.
