Like 0 Dislike 0 My father passed away three months ago, leaving behind my mother and myself. I think the mortgage company wants my mother to file a quit claim deed because the mortgage was in my father's name only. Is it absolutely necessary to file a quit claim deed and what is the going rate for an attorney to charge for this service?

After his death, did you contact them to know what will happen to the mortgage? Normally, when the original borrower dies they require the mortgage to be paid off. Regarding quit claim deed, on the deed signatures of owner are required but as your father has died, it is not possible now that the quit claim deed can be made. Miller

Mortgage was in his name but who owned the house? Was it that it was in your father's name only or all three of you were co owners? Did your father make a will and name beneficiaries who will be receiving ownership of the house if it was in his name only? _________________ Good is the Enemy of Great.

Quit claim deed requires grantor's signatures. As your father is no more, a quit claim deed cannot be used here.

And before estate proceeds are divided among beneficiaries, all his debts including mortgage will be cleared off. The same applies if he left a will. After the will goes through probate procedure, all his dues will be paid off & then remaining proceeds will be distributed among beneficiaries named on the will.

Where did you get this information that the mortgage company is asking for a quit claim deed to be made for transfer of property in your mother's name?

So signing the deed will not help your mother to transfer the loan. After your father's death, the loan needs to be paid off or refinanced in the name of your mother. And if your father has left a will, then the property will be divided among the beneficiaries who are named on the will.

You can get hold of these forms in order to transfer the property. However, it's better to draft the form from an attorney. The fees of the attorney for drafting the deed will vary. Thanks
