My sister states she is going to quick claim a home to me. I told her I do not want it. Can she do it anyway without my knowledge, consent or signature? If so, how do I find out if she does it or not?

What does "quick claim" mean?

Guest

'Quick claim deed" the house from her name to my name. She no longer wants to be responsible for the house and does not want it in her name. She cannot sell it and can not pay the bills on it. Our mother was terminally ill and mom did a quick claim deed of the house to my sister just before she died. My sister can not sell the house and is afraid the house will goes into foreclosure and her credit will be effected so she wants to put it my name. The house is in Florida.

Hi Linda,

Some states do require the grantee to sign the deed along with the granto. In such a case, your sister cannot quitclaim it without your knowledge. Some states do not need the grantee to sign the deed. But if the property is transferred without your knowledge, under false pretese, the deed can be reversed. However, Signing a quitclaim deed won't help her get rid of her financial obligations. Thus even if the title is transferred to you, as long as you are not on the loan, your credit won't get affeted.

Thanks,

Jerry

Welcome Mblue,

You can check out the quitclaim deed which you have in order to find out the grantors of the property. The quitclaim deed will mention their names. Once you know the names, you can sign a new quitclaim deed and transfer the property back to them.

Most states require that a deed be "delivered" to the grantee to be valid. However, this does not affect the mortgage. The original borrowers are still liable, and the property still has a lien.

The term is "Quit Claim Deed" because the grantor quits any claim to the property, ie gives up any right to title.
