Hi char!

Welcome to forums!

No one can force you and your mother to sign a quitclaim deed and transfer the property. If your father has done so, it will be considered as illegal and you can take legal actions against your father.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

You should immediately consult a real estate attorney and check out what legal actions can be taken against this fraud.

Attorney Guardian Ad Litem - In this capacity, the attorney serves in the special role of guardian ad litem or GAL, and is responsible to represent the child's "best interests."

Thanks...would seem that the lack of a GAL is a problem here.

Hi Guest!

Welcome to forums!

I will suggest you to discuss the whole matter with your real estate attorney and take his/her help in this whole matter. Your attorney will be able to let you know whether or not you can get back the property.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Char, there is no universal law that would cover such a situation. That's why it's imperative that you seek out a local attorney to assist you...one who knows the specific laws in your own location. Please do so, and don't delay - if there's a way in which you can receive relief, you want to be able to do it rapidly.

You must be 18 to sign a deed. There is no statute of limitations on rescinding a property transfer that I know about. You should consult with a local real estate attorney. It sounds like you have a good case.
