if you have a deed in your possession can you claim it if the person is deceased Not necessarily. There may be other terms and conditions. Just possession of a deed doesn't mean sole ownership.

You cannot sell what you do not own. In the case of a deed, the deed would be a nullity if the grantor didn't own the property.

Can you get your house back if you signed a quitclaim deed?

If you own property and execute a quitclaim deed transferring your interest. You no longer own the property. If the property is subject to a mortgage or if you made the transfer to avoid creditors you have complicated the title and created a problem for yourself but you cannot undo that deed. The grantee in that deed would need to convey their interest back to you. Transferring property that is subject to a mortgage will trigger the "due on transfer" clause. You should consult with an attorney.

Do the new owners on a title deed revoke a previous quitclaim deed?

The grantees on the most current deed are the new owners. Once an owner transfers their interest by deed they no longer own the property. Their own deed isn't revoked, they simply have no more rights of ownership. Their deed is null and void.

If someone files a deed that has property listed that they don't own does this void the deed that was filed?

This is an interesting question. A person cannot convey what they do not own. If there was only one property described in the deed and the grantor does not own that property then that deed is a nullity, in other words, legally void. It would be ignored in the chain of title for that property. If several properties were described in the deed and one was not owned by the grantor then only the "conveyance" of that one property would be null and void and the deed would be effective as to the other properties that were owned by the grantor.
