How do get property in another state transferred from my deceased mother’s name to my sister and I?
A late cousin left his property in to my mother who lived in another state. Now she has passed away and I’m not sure how to go about getting the property transfered over to my sister and I. My mother did not have any other real property, so we did not have to go through probate.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am a little confused here by the chain of events and what has transpired. Was the property in the other state already transferred to you Mother through the probate of your cousin's estate? How was it titled? In her name only? Then you ned to probate your Mother's estate in order to transfer the property now to you and your sister. Please seek legal help. Good luck.
