Question posted in the Property Law category relating to Gauteng
Question value: R 100.00

Hi, My parents past away few years ago and left the house/property with no will. I had since made it clear to my siblings (4) and my parents while they where still alive that I do not want the property at all. The title deed still not changed (Still under my parents name) as not everyone is willing to get this changed and the property keeps on accumulating arrears. 

I would like to know what can I do to unlink myself from this property as one of the children of the deceased and also what are the implications of the property owing to me?

I would do anything to detach or disclaim this property, please advise.

Thank you.

Hi there,

I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.

You need to report your parent's estate at the Master's Office, and then you need to get an executor appointed who can deal with the property. Without an executor, you can't do anything...
