I am both the executor of my father’s estate and the heir to my father’s house. Probate went through last year, and a new deed was drawn up. It was processed and I received a copy but I find it puzzling. I am listed as both the grantor and grantee on the deed, which makes perfect sense. But in both sections an “as executor” is after my name. Consequently on my property tax bill, which I just received, the bill lists my name, and under it, executor. Is this correct? Does the executor title continue to trail me even after I have taken over the deed? Shouldn’t the grantee have been simply me without the added “executor” after my name on the deed?
Thanks.
