    Default What is Meant by "Sole Heir of the Estate"

    My question involves real estate located in the State of: NJ

    I recently found online with the county a copy of a Quitclaim Deed filed with the statement that my mother had died in testate leaving my sister, Grantor, as Administratrix and sole heir of the Estate, signing her interest in the property over to my mother's co-owner for approximately 25% of the value of the house.

    Does the statement that she is 'sole heir' legally prevent me from collecting the 25% I am entitled to? It was understood that my sister and I would split my mother's 50% after either the co-owner sold the home or passed away.

    What makes your sister the "sole heir" if there is no will designating heirs?

    The quitclaim was executed by your sister as administrator of the estate?

    Get the file from the probate court and see what has been done. An estate usually files a deed of distribution, not a quit claim. If probate was started you should have been notified.
