How do I file for a reversal of a quit claim deed

it looks to me like you ought to find a lawyer to help you - spending the money will be well worth your while if you are successful.

Hello AddthePassion and,

Welcome to Forum.

This is a stretch, but if you can get your exwife to quitclaim the property back over to you, then you can avoid getting a lawyer. the lawyer will be the other alternative to prove you were under the influence when you quit claim the property over to your exwife.

Good luck

You must hire an attorney and file a lawsuit to have the deed voided for lack of capacity and undue influence.

I will also encourage him to first ask exwife to quitclaim property back over to him. He should seek an attorney if that fails. He will not have to go through that process when an attorney is involved if she quit claim the property over to him. As I said before, it is a strech but its worth a try.

In 2002 my mother executed a warranty deed to me with no strings attached (dhe had creditors she wanted to hide the assets from). We subsequently had a fight and she took me to court. The judge decided to make it a constructive trust (after 6 yrs) and voided the deed. Is this legal? A

Hi gregory Gilbreath

Before the judgment has been given by a judge, the case must have been fought in the court. In that case, the decision seems to be legal. If you do not want to accept the decision, you can contact an attorney and show him/her the documents and check his/her opinion and take steps accordingly.

Thanks.

wouldn't you think that a judge - ordered to uphold the law (i.e., determine what is legal and what is not) - would be able to make a legal judgment and not have someone question "is it legal?"

the easiest way to get the best answer to the question is to go back to that judge and ask him if what he did is legal.

I am one of five siblings and my mother (widowed) just did a will with my eldest (wealthy) sister's, attorney. We were present for most of the proceedings however the first visit we were not. We became aware when my mother was signing over her house to her children and my eldest sister's children., of which was not my mother's wishes. Although we have since corrected the error and my mother has chosen to keep her house in her name, we are concerned that other portions of the will may also need adjusting. Our question is , in the meeting we were not present, my sister's lawyer( of which she offered to pay), may have slipped my mother a quitclaim on the house giving it entirely to her. Lots of papers were shuffled when we were not there and it could have easily been overlooked by my elderly mother. How would we know or find out if that happened? We of course asked for all paperwork from the lawyer but don't trust him.

Hi Charles,

You can do a title search to find who actually owns the house i.e. whose name appears on the title of the house. If your sister had your mother sign a quitclaim deed and recorded it with county recorders office, the title search will show the change in ownership. You can check with the county recorders office also. If the deed wasn't signed or recorded, you can ask your mother to sign a quitclaim deed to all you siblings (with a life estate for herself, if she wants) and then have it notarized and recorded so it becomes legally valid.

just do a new one, maggie - that will be effective. and it shouldn't be too hard, since you already have experience.

Welcome cherie,

You can definitely get the deed reversed if you can prove that he lied to you or forced you to sign the deed. However, you will have to contact an attorney and he will help you in filing the lawsuit.
