How do I get some property transferred over to me that was left in a Will when I was a minor if I am now over the age of 18?
Grandfather left me some property in a Will at the time I was a minor. The Will states that at the age of 18 the property should be transferred over. The property was never transferred over and I’m now 23 and was wondering how do I go about getting the property and money that was generated from the rental property.

Please seek legal help here from an attorney in your area on the matter. Who was taking care of the property for all of these years? Who is the executor? They should have been managing the property and collecting rents, etc., over the years. Remember that the property has to be maintained a well so some of the money should have gone to that and taxes, etc. If the property was never transferred because of your age then the estate remains open, correct? The executor will transfer the property by executor's deed to you and it will be filed. But I am unsure here how things were handled and an attorney needs to check in to that for you. Good luck.
