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.

Does a quitclaim affect the mortgage?

Yes. Most mortgages have a due on transfer clause. It is meant to protect the lender. It provides that if there is any transfer of ownership, such as by a quitclaim deed, the lender can demand that the full balance of the mortgage be paid immediately. If the transfer goes unnoticed for a time, the property transfers subject to the mortgage and full payment will be demanded when the lender is notified. If the mortgage isn't paid the lender will take possession of the property by foreclosure.Yes. Most mortgages have a due on transfer clause. It is meant to protect the lender.

Can you take your name off the deed but still be on the mortgage?

You could quitclaim your interest in the property to the co-owner, but you are obligated to pay the mortgage. In that case you would no longer have any ownership interest in the property but you would be fully responsible for paying the mortgage until it is paid off. If the co-borrower failed to pay the lender would seek payment from you. You should consult with an attorney who can review the situation and explain your options, responsibilities and the consequences of executing a quitclaim deed. See related question.

If a mortgagor who is not on the title or deed is in default can the bank foreclose on the property?

If the mortgagor owned the property when they granted a mortgage to the bank then the bank has an interest even if the mortgagor conveyed their interest by a quitclaim deed. In that case the grantee would take title subject to the mortgage. If the mortgage isn't paid the bank can take possession of the property.

Can a house be foreclosed on in a person's name who is not on mortgage but property is quick claimed to them and they quick claim property back into estate of deceased person name before foreclosure?

A mortgage in default can be foreclosed no matter how many times you quitclaim it around the family. Every person who receives the property by a quitclaim deed takes it subject to the mortgage. You may slow down the process a little and add to the costs of the foreclosure but the foreclosure rides on the person who had title at the time of the mortgage. THEY gave an interest in the property to the bank in exchange for cash. If the cash was not paid back the bank is going to take possession of the property. Subsequent owners only need to be given notice of the proceeding.


Will the mortgage company require refinancing with a quitclaim deed transfer?

If you want to take your name off the property and mortgage, yes. Also, most modern mortgage documents contain a "due on transfer" clause. If you execute a quitclaim deed the bank can demand full payment of the debt immediately. You should speak with a bank representative to discuss the changes you want to make.


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.


What happens when the person who acquired the property by quitclaim deed doesn't make their payments?

It sounds as though you sold land and took back a mortgage. If so, you can foreclose on the mortgage and take possession of the property if you reserved that right in the mortgage. You should consult with an attorney in your area since state laws on this issue vary.
