Can you quitclaim deed a house that is owned by siblings through inheritance but only one sibling is doing the upkeep of the property and land taxes?
Only the owner of the house can sign a quitclaim deed. For instance, if the siblings wanted to, they could each quitclaim their share of the house to the one who is doing all the work. However, the one who is paying taxes and doing work can put liens on the property so that his/her money will be returned if and when the house sells, before any profit is split among the siblings. Any receipts and paperwork should be maintained and copied so that there is back up to the lien. Save copies of cancelled checks.
