Absolutely not. The transfer of property involves two separate actions: the buyer hands over the full consideration ($$$) and the seller hands over the deed. Do not hand over the signed deed until you have been paid. You should have an attorney represent you in any sale of real estate. If you did you wouldn't be asking this question.
This describes an ordinary "purchase and sale" agreement: buyers show up with the money, seller gives buyer the deed after buyer gives them the money. Sometimes buyer gets a loan, so the money actually comes from a bank, but the seller gets paid before giving up the signed deed.
It depends on the language of the gift. What does the document say?
Yes, if they pay cash. However, if they borrow money to purchase the property and have a mortgage, they cannot transfer their interest unless they notify the bank. The bank will likely demand the mortgage be paid before the property is transferred.Yes, if they pay cash.

Your lawyer must bring the papers to you to sign. Being in jail normally does not affect property ownership.
Absolutely not. A deed is a sealed instrument and it is illegal to alter it once it has been executed and before it is recorded.
Yes. A deed must have the signature of the grantor for it to be valid. The grantor is the person who owns the land. The grantee is the person(s) who is receiving the land. Once the deed is recorded in the land records the grantee is the new owner.
No, you cannot cash a check from a quitclaim deed because a quitclaim deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real property and does not represent a monetary value. If you are expecting a check related to the sale or transfer of property, it would typically come from a real estate transaction or closing process, not directly from the quitclaim deed itself. To access any funds, you would need to follow the specific procedures related to that transaction.
Ownership of real estate is evidenced and accomplished by a deed. The person who transfers the property is called the grantor and the person who receives it is the grantee. In any deed, the grantee is the new owner. The owner of real estate is said to hold title to it.
yes.
Generally speaking, deeds cannot be revoked. When a deed is executed the grantee becomes the new owner. If you want your co-tenant's interest you need to have them convey it to you by signing a quitclaim deed.

The person who is receiving the life estate must be listed as grantee in the deed along with the clear intention that only a life estate is granted. The deed should be drafted by a professional who can discuss the consequences and responsibilities associated with granting a life estate.
