Quick Claim Deed is usually misspelled and should be Quit Claim Deed. If you are granting the deed you are "quitting" any interest in the property. A quitclaim deed is a fast and effective way of transfering property.
You can quit claim your rights to the property. However, that doesn't quit claim your spouse's rights to the proprty. Once married the spouse in most states has rights to the property.
You are referring to a "quitclaim" deed. If the deed is valid then the person named in the deed is the rightful owner.
The witnesses and the acknowledgment that should be on the same page, immediately following the signature, will connect the signature to the conveyance of the property.
If someone forged a signature on a quitclaim deed, they have committed fraud. The forged deed may be invalid and the rightful property owner can take legal action to have the deed invalidated and the property returned. It is important to consult with a lawyer to determine the best course of action.
They are not the same, a quit claim deed is a method of transferring rights to property. Joint owned is a form of ownership.
No. Once you have conveyed your interest by a quitclaim deed you are no longer the owner and therefore, you have no rights in the property.
You can transfer your real property to the trustee of a trust using a quitclaim deed.
Too late. The quitclaim deed conveyed the property and any structures on it unless you reserved the right to move them.
To start with, it is a "quit" claim deed. And basically you are relinquishing your share of the property to someone else. This usually happens when there are two names on the deed and one wants out of ownership. They usually quit claim deed their share to the other person on the deed. Family has nothing to do with it. The only thing that MIGHT affect this transfer is if it was agreed upon prior to taking ownership of the property that it can only be transferred to someone within the family. Rare, but who knows, this stipulation might exist. In most states one tenant by the entirety cannot transfer their interest in the property.
If you have a letter of authority as executor. Otherwise it would not be an appropriate transfer. However, you can quit claim any personal claim you have to someone else.
Answered by Reid Breitman. This is for information only and you should consult a lawyer before relying on anything on the internet. First, it is "quit claim" not quick claim. If I understand this correctly, the property is vested in the name of your father-in-law, who died, but the mortgage was in your mother-in-law's name or both your mother-in-law and father-in-law. It does not matter who is on the mortgage. That just governs who is legally liable to pay the mortgage, and one does not need to be on title to be obligated on the mortgage. One spouse will often sign the mortgage, but not be on title, for a variety of reasons. So, the answer about how to transfer the title to the property: if the father-in-law died, the property will go to his heirs. If he had a will, then the will must be probated. If he had a trust, and the property was in a trust, then the trustee can transfer the property. That's why trusts are such good things to have...avoids probate and can provide legal tax advantages. If he nad no trust and no will, then it still has to be probated, and it is a big pain to figure out who the heirs are, but it will be done through the probate court and will take time. Now, there may be other issues, and you should definitely consult an attorney on these important issues. For example, there may be facts that might support a claim that the mother-in-law, or someone else, has a claim to the property. Those claims will have to be brought soon, before some applicable statute of limitations might apply to bar the claim. The mother-in-law may have community property rights in the property, which should be thoroughly explored by appropriate counsel.
