No, nothing can be done with real or personal property of a deceased person(s) until the probate procedure has been completed. States establish probate laws, each state has different requirements for the procedure and stipulates different types and amounts of property that is exempt from probate action. Contact the executrix or executor of the deceased estate or the clerk of the probate court of jurisdiction for more specific information.
The mortgage is still a lien against the property. A quit claim deed does not affect the liabilities and liens, which are still the responsibility of the deceased, and therefore, his estate.
Obviously the quit claim would have been filed before the person's death. There-fore the deceased's property/estate would be handled pursuant to state probate laws. The property in question could be apportioned in accordance with the terms of the will, or if the person died intestate, under the applicable laws of the state of residency.
Yes. You effectively "quit" your claim of ownership.
Normaly only if you have not recorded such quit claim...
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.
A quit claim is a method of transferring property. It has nothing to do with the value of the estate.
They can do whatever they wish with their rights and property.
A quit claim deed gives whoever is on it the same rights to the property as the original holder had. If you create a quit claim deed for property you hold title to and put your own name on it along with someone else, you are essentially splitting the property in half.
The property cannot be transferred by deed. The estate must be probated in order for title to the real property to pass to the child. You need to contact a probate attorney in your area.
Yes, of course.
Quit claim deed.
Just a letter won't get it done. Have the person who is trying to take possesion of the property have the title company send you a "Quit Claim" form to fill out, sign and have notorized.
