I'm being pressured to sign a quitclaim deed for some property a descendant of mine owned 100 yrs ago. The potential grantee claims he has majority interest in the property because my deceased uncles who were heirs to the estate and had a majority interest signed over their interest in 1985 and 2001. I examined the quitclaim deeds signed by my uncles in the registry of deeds database and see that the quitclaim deeds for both uncles are stamped "cancelled" at the bottom of the deed. Does this mean my uncles reclaimed their interest and their quitclaim no longer holds?
Hi,
I think if the registry of deeds mentions the deeds as being cancelled then the right transferred by way of the deeds will not be valid.
Thanks

Hi MLGrant,
Welcome to the forums.
"the quitclaim deeds for both uncles are stamped "cancelled" at the bottom of the deed. Does this mean my uncles reclaimed their interest and their quitclaim no longer holds?"
If the deeds are recorded to be cancelled then it implies that your uncles have got back their share of interest in the property years ago when they have cancelled the deed. So, their quit claim no longer holds. Therefore, you need not sign the deed and transfer the interest as you are the owner of that property.
Feel free to come up with further queries.
Thanks,
Caron.

What does it means when a person of a address gives for consideration paid and inf ull consideration of certain amount of money, and grants to a person soley of a certain address with quiteclaim covernants, but it is then stamped cancelled by the registry of deeds and returned to the law office who drew up the deed. and a fee in cash was paid in a rather large amount of money for the for the transction. What does this means?
Hi,
The deed was cancelled by the registry of deeds may be because the way deed was created was not as per the rules. The signature on the deed also might be wrong which resulted in the cancellation. You should enquire at the registry for the reason the deed was cancelled. Normally if the deed is properly created it is not rejected or cancelled by the registry office.

Hi Togono,
As far as I can understand from your words, it means that a certain property was initially quit claimed to a person. The deed was then recorded at the office of the Registry of deeds. But after that, the deed has been cancelled and returned to the law office who had initially prepared the deed. This implies that the grantor transferring a certain property has received the property back from the grantee, that is, the transfer has been cancelled. And, the grantor had paid a large sum of fees due to the cancellation of the deed.
Thanks,
Sara.
