The county recorder may accept the document if it has been properly notorized and meets any other stautory requirements but a title insurance compay may be reluctant to insure marketable title without a decision by the probate court that the transferee named on the deed is entitled to the property free of claims by other heirs or creditors including fereral estate tax and any back taxes due from reassessment by the transfer dating back 4 years. Call the county recorder and one of the title insurance companies for information without a fee or call an attorney who specializes in real estate or probate, they may give you an answer without charging knowing that you may need to hire him to clean this problem up. Good Luck

In Michigan if your mother uses a quitclaim to deed her house to you and she has a mortgage and credit card debt would you receive any benefits from the property?

A QUIT CLAIM deed may not be legal in Michigan if filed after a person dies. You might want to check with an attorney. I understand that the Quit Claim deed has been signed now, but it is not effective until it is filed and recorded at the county recorders office. If filed after your mother has died, the state, county or other agencies may make claim to the property based on tax or other claims. You'd probably be better if she could set up a trust of some kind. They aren't necessarily expensive and can be far more beneficial to the survivor(s). Any debt that occurs will be an obligation to her estate and as such you may loose any interest in the house. * Quitclaim deeds are very risky as they are not legally binding when they involve debts owed by the grantor and can be easily challenged in court often requiring current "owner" to file a "quiet title" suit. In the case cited a quitclaim would not validly transfer the property to the family member for the purpose of protecting it from creditor action and/or probate procedure.
