Can a child have the rights to their parents' property if in jail?

Generally, being incarcerated does not take away a person's property rights. However, if there is a mortgage to pay, property taxes, insurance and utility bills, the property could be lost for non-payment. If you are dwelling in the property and paying for the upkeep and maintenance, then you should request your parent transfer ownership to you.
If you need to manage the property for your parent then he/she must execute a Power of Attorney that names you as the attorney-in-fact. That would give you the authority to stand in for your parent, sign your parent's name and manage the property. The parent could also transfer ownership to the children if he/she will be incarcerated for a long time.
The situation changes when a parent is found criminally responsible for the death of the other parent. In that case the incarcerated parent's right to any marital property is wiped out and title passes to the children.
You should seek the advice of an attorney in your area who could review your situation and determine what your rights and options are.

That person does not lose their property ownership rights. Noting can be disposed of without their legal okay, no different than if they were not in jail.
What happens to a child whose parents are sent to prison?
If a child's parents are both sent to prison, normally the child would be adopted by some other relative, and if there are no suitable relatives available, the child would become a ward of the state, and would be raised by a child welfare agency, at least until one or both parents are released from jail (and perhaps, even when released from jail, these parents may be deemed unfit to raise their child).

I would think that would depend on several things. Such as: Why you are in jail? Is whatever caused you to go to jail a danger to the child? How long will you be in jail? I would ask to talk with an officer about the situation and ask to talk to a social worker about it to.

Can you give up your rights to parenting?
Yes, you can relinquish your parental rights, however, if you are doing so to avoid payment of child support, most courts will not approve the relinquishment. Ultimately, the court will still have to say that it is in the best interest of the child. That normally will not be done unless there is someone willing and able to adopt in your place.
