Quit Claim Deed

hi ibuth,

welcome to mortgagefit forums.

your mom and her present husband can go for a quit claim deed to add her name in the property. of course you require a real estate attorney to guide you through it.

since real estate transfers are critical, so you should always take the help of an attorney to have the transfer or changes smoothly.

do get the deed notarized and get it recorded with the county's recorder office.

feel free to ask if you have any further queries.

god bless you.

Hi Ibuth,

Recording the deed with the county's recorder office is necessary to avoid any future trouble. A deed can still be valid with getting recorded but other people will not be able to know about the interest of the grantee in the property.

The purpose of recording a deed is to protect the grantee. This will require a small fee.

As Samantha suggested, always take the help of an attorney in any changes in the ownership of a property.

my husband and i quit claimed my mother's name to our deed 2 years ago so that she could take ownership. she has maintained expenses and the mortgage and we now want to take our names off of the house. she wants to refinance. what is the best way to remove our name from the deed? can we do another quic claim deed and have it notarized. do my husband and i need to do another addendum, like a letter requesting the removal of our name from the deed? thanks

Hi, Julie

In order to remove the name a new deed needs to be drafted and submitted for recording along with a completed transfer return form.

Hi Julie,

Of course you can quit claim again and take your names off the title. Take the help of a real estate lawyer to guide you with the required paper works.

Get the deed notarized and recorded with the recorder's office.

My father, who is getting up in year's, (80's) owns a piece of vacant propert. (approx. 1 acre) We want to add my name (son) to the deed, so that if anything should happen to him it will not be tied up in probate. I called the county building and was told that I could buy a quickclaims form, fill it out, have it noterized, and take it to the county building and they would record it. My question is that he is not selling it to me, just adding my name to the deed, so on the form we put his name & address as the Grantor and mine as the Grantee should his name also be placed as the Grantee also?

Hi Robert,

Yes, I think your father has to sign in the grantee's place also as he is just adding your name alongwith your name.

I will suggest to do the process in front of a real estate attorney as these transfers are critical and should not pose problems later.

Hi,

You can have this done through a quit claim deed and get it notarized and recorded with county recorder.

And as suggested by adonis get it done in front of an attorney.

Thanks,

Good Morning,
My mother who is 81 wants to transfer her house that my brother lives in to my brother and I is there a way that we can do this ourselves? We all live in Illinois but she lives in a different town and it would be much easier if we could do it ourselves and not have an attorney present.

Hi, Bompps

What do you want to ask, can you be more specific please.

What I can make it out is, your mother wants to transfer the house to your brother. This can be done through quit claim deed, with the help of this deed all the rights can easily be transfered.

Hope I have guessed it right.

Hi,

I think your mother can transfer her interest in the title of the property through a quit claim deed.

Its good to hear that you can do it yourself, but i would still suggest you to involve an attorney to avoid any kind of problems in future.

Thanks,
Jerry
