My mother and father bot owned (JTWROS) a small piece of property - My dad died 30 years ago - the propery is now 1/2 owned by Mom and the remaining half is owned by my 3 siblings and me. My family wants to quick claim the deed to me - how simple is this to do? My father died practically homeless - this piece of property in JTWROS was all he had - because we did not settle his estate - will this be an issue to quick claim?

Hi Laura,

Quitclaim deed is a very simple process by which your family can transfer the entire share of property to you. In the deed, your mother including all other siblings would sign as the 'grantor' and you would be the 'grantee'. And after the deed is made, it has to be notarized and recorded in the office of the County Recorder.

Hello laura,

I think you father has not left a will. But don't worry. This will not prevent the quitclaim deed, unless there is any claim to the estate.

But for transferring the property to you, all the family members who are on the deed, should give their consent and also need to sign the deed.

"JTWROS" means Joint Tenancy with Right of Survivorship. If your mother and father held title that way, and your father died, then your mother owns the house 100%.

In any event, you can have whoever the owner is transfer title to you by executing a Grant Deed. You can download the forms on the internet. Have it notarized and filed in the county where the property is located.

Hi Miss!

You and your brother will have to sign a quitclaim deed. By this deed, your brother will give away his ownership rights to you. You will have to notarize it and record it in the county recorder's office. You will get the quiclaim deeds online but it will be better if you could draft one from an attorney.

Thanks.

If your mother want to quit the property of her to you ,she can use quitclaim deed. That's quickly and simply. It will not affect other half of your siblings.

My grandfather passed away last year leaving several properties to my grandmother. The family is having a problem with a sibling whom is living in one of the properties and not paying bills, which are in my grandmothers name. My mom wants to check into the quitclaim deed so all of the children can decide what to do with the property. What would be your advice?

Hi miss b,

You grandmother can sign a quitclaim deed in the name of all her children so that they may decide on selling the property or can equally divide the property taxes and other bills within themselves. Sample quitclaim deed forms can be available online but your grandmother may even consult an attorney to draft the deed for her.

Thanks

Hi jeanbernard!

Welcome to forums!

A quitclaim deed will not release your from the obligations of paying the mortgage unless the new owner of the property has refinanced the mortgage in his/her name. If not then, then you will still be liable to pay off the debts.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

My folks bought a condo (second home) and placed me as a JTWROS, for inheritance purposes. Would this affect my being able to apply and get assistance as a first time home buyer?

My late father in law along with his wife and daughter are JTWROS on a quit claim deed for a piece of property. He passed away three years ago and his wife wants to dispose of the property to her daughter. Is there specific language that needs to be on the new quit claim deed to identify that the father is deceased? Or is it sufficient to just list his wife and daughter as the present owners and execute the deed from his wife to his daughter?

Hi Bill,

you need not put any specific language to identify that your father-in-law is deceased. Since your mother-in-law is the surviving joint tenant, the right of survivorship makes her the legal owner of the property in the absence of your father-in law. She needs to file the death certificate with the county recorder's office so she receives the property as the sole legal owner of it. After that if she wants to transfer the property to you she can simply sign a quit claim deed to do so.
