Inherited the House

  My brother and I were left a house by my grandfather, who has since passed away. I want to get my name on the deed. My Brother wants nothing to do with the house. I am currently living in the house and have been paying the taxes. What do I need to do?
 
  If your brother is ready to sign over his share of the house to you, it's a relatively simple matter to have the paperwork taken care of.  Any lawyer can take care of the matter for you.
