My parents trust had a quick claim deed without the recorders stamp that was worded...as them as 'trustees' The last recorded deed words it as they are 'tenants'. They are telling me I will now have to go into Probate. I am executer and beneficiary. If I have no money at all for Probate will they take my home?

Hi Darlene,

As far as I know, if there's a quitclaim deed, then you would not require to probate the property. You should contact an attorney and take his opinion. He would go through your property deed and let you know whether you would have to go for a probate or not.

Thanks

You may be able to file an Affidavit of Heirship and transfer the property to your name.
