Mobile Home Title Transfer

Summary

In Arkansas, a mobile home may be considered real property if it is permanently affixed to the land, has utilities connected, and cannot be easily moved. If the mobile home is still titled in a deceased persons name, it might require probate unless it qualifies as real property. Consulting with a local attorney is advisable to ensure all legal requirements are met for the title transfer.

I own a property in Faulkner County Arkansas. I obtained it by Joint Ownership with rights of survivorship when my mother passed. The property was automatically placed in my name. Which to my understanding bypasses probate. I was in the process of attempting to sell when I realized the mobile home on the property had a title and that was still in my deceased mothers name. The mobile home is sitting on blocks, on my property and connected to utilities and plumbing. From what I gather, that makes it attached to the property granting me the ability to get the title signed over in my name without worrying about probate. IS that correct?
