My Mom had a colonoscopy where the dr poked a whole in her colon, May 2nd. It took her 9 months to recover and on Dec. 12 they did a second surgery to remove the ostomy bag. Her recovery is not going so well this time. Although she is getting stronger. I'm afraid that this will snow ball and her health will start getting worse. She's 86 and owns her home out right. My eldest brother is on the title with her. We were wondering if we should quit claim the house to my brother or myself since I am her primary care giver. We're afraid being in California, if the house is in her name they will take her house to pay for medical expenses. Can you help us?

At this time, my boyfriends house has no leins or mortgage, but do to unpaid income taxes and credit card debt, I am sure those leins will come. If he quit claims the property to me beforehand, will I be able to protect it?

Hi lucy!

If your boyfriend transfers the property in your name just to avoid the liens, it will be considered as a fraudulent transfer and the lender may take severe actions. I don't think it will be a good idea.

Thanks.

Hi lynn-georgia!

If you quitclaim the property to your daughter in order to protect your property from lawsuit and creditors, then it will be taken as a fraudulent transfer and you can be penalized for it.

Thanks.

Welcome valej,

If your mother decides to take the help of medicaid, then she may face problem due to this transfer of property. Medicaid has the concept of a 5 year look-back period. Transfer of property within this look-back period can lead to a waiting period before she starts to collect Medicaid.

I have an upside down morgage, I owe $30,000 credit card debt, and I own out right a trailor and piece of property in Ariz. I paid $118,000 but I'm sure its worth 1/2 that now. If I bail out of my morgage, and go bankrupt and my credit card debts, could I do a quick claim deed on my property in Ariz. to my adult Son or can the creditors make me sell it for what I owe them?

Welcome Sandra,

As far as your credit card debts are concerned, you can check out the options of debt consolidation or a debt settlement. In debt consolidation, the interest rates for paying the debts can be reduced and in case of debt settlement, your payments will be reduced by 40%-60% depending upon your situation.

If you quitclaim the property to your son before filing a bankruptcy, this transfer of property can be considered as a fraudulent one. However, there are various ways to avoid bankruptcy, check out the options in the given link:

Thanks.

My fathier-in-law died recently owing on their home still. My mother-i-law
doesn't have enough money now to pay for the home or any of the other considerable unsecured debt that they had. We are buying the home from her for just what she owes on it. It will take possibly 2 weeks to have the lien that is on the house cancelled at the local court house. We are afraid that in that 2 week period some of her creditors will attempt to put a lien on the property and we won't be able to get the deed put in our name. Will a quit claim deed help this situation or not?

You don't have to wait for the release of lien to be recorded to file your deed. This is no different than any other purchase where, most likely, the seller has an existing mortgage. If you want to buy the home from your mother-in-law, then buy the home. It IS always a good idea though to follow up and make sure the lender recorded the mortgage release - they generally have 30 to 60 days to do this depending on what state your in.

In order to get a loan on a parcel of land a number of years ago my mother asked me to be on the mortgage with her and the title of the property. Since then my husband became ill and passed away and his illness has left me with credit card debt. I intend to pay the debts but it'll take some time. I am concerned about creditors putting a lien on what is really my mothers property because of me. I am thinking of taking my name off the title and quit claiming to my family trust with my mother. That would keep the title in her name with rights of survivor to the family trust. Does this protect her property from a lien?
