Grantor is deceased

Guest 0.10 Dollars($)

My dad has the deed to land where the grantor is deceased and the only other living relative is in the nursing home. My dad wants to do a quit deed to sell. Is that possible?

Hi,

Welcome to the forum.

Is your father the owner of the property? If so then he can quitclaim to sell the property.

But from your post it seems that he is not the owner and the grantor is deceased. So to quitclaim the grantor needs to sign the quitclaim deed. So is the grantor willing to quitclaim?

Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Best of luck,
Larry

Welcome a1childress,

Larry has correctly said that the grantor needs to sign the deed for quitclaiming. So your father cannot be able to sell the property as he is not the owner.

To sale the property he will he to be the owner.

Let me know if you have any more queries

If your dad has the deed, then he owns the property. He can dispose of it as he wishes. A quitclaim deed will work, but the better deed is a grant deed.
