my dad recently died and executed a quit claim deed to put his house in my name and my two brothers, so we each have 25%. he was thinking that when he died the 25% would automatically pass to us and there would be no need for probate. the title co says the deed is in joint tenancy and therefore requires probate. the quit claim form has no option for joint tenancy or joint in common, so does this indeed need to go to probate. the house is in nevada
my mom had a quit claim deed done after my dad died in 1996 and had my brother and me put on the deed with her.she has a life estate on the deed.but my brother is her guardian /conservator,i am co-guardian.he had to have her declared mentally incompetent.at the time she was,but she has gained her memory back pretty good and knows what she wants.she is living in an adult foster care and two of her grandaughters want to buy the house and she wants to sell to them.is there anyway that she would be able to manage this.even the lawyer that my brother got to handle the guardianship/conservertorship has talk to my mom and thinks she knows pretty much what is going on.she also doesn't want him to go into her house and take any of her personal things.i would appreciate any help. thank you
Hi Donna,
The mental competency will have to be proved through a mental competency assessment test. An experienced mental health care professional will determine whether you mom has regained mental competency. You can then ask the court to declare your mom to be mentally competent based on the report given by the medical officer.

Hi Donna,
It is quiet necessary to prove that your mom is mentally competent now as mentally incompetent people cannot enter a contract. And it is taken that they can not understand the legal obligations of the contract they are entering into and any such contract will not be considered legal.

Hi Donna,
After the court agrees that your mom is now mentally competent, it will remove the assigned guardians and your mom would be able to sell the house.
Before she sells the house you and your brother will be required to quit claim your interests in the house back to her. After which she may sell by transferring her interest by way of a warranty deed in names of granddaughters.
To know how to quit claim your interest back to her and how she can use the warranty deed, please go through the details given on these two pages:

Hi,
If your mother has recovered, she can very well transfer her portion of the property to someone else. But she can't give away the share of interest you and your brother have on the property. She can only sell the entire property if you and your brother quit claim your shares back to her. Take your attorney's advice in this regard so that he can help you stop the sale.
Thanks,
Caron.

My ex husband and I own property and he is remarrying - Will a quit claim deed be sufficient to retitle our property to our names joint tenancy so that if either of us dies the property reverts to the other one? The property is currently in both of our names but without joint tenancy. thanks, susan
Hi Susan,
Welcome to the forums.
You can use a quit claim deed to retitle the property in the form of joint tenancy with right of survivorship. The right of survivorship indicates that upon the death of a co-owner, the other person on the title will hold title to the entire property.

Sara

My parents are divorced and live in the same household. One parents has a terminal disease. There is no living trust for either parents. My siblings and I are thinking of doing a quit claim for the terminally ill parents-placing all siblings for this 50% of the house-Is this possible???Please advise
Hi DoMartinez,
Sorry to hear about your parents condition.
For transfer of ownership interest using a quit claim deed it will be necessary for your parent to sign the deed as the grantor. But you are saying that he has terminal disease.
If he is still in a position to take legal decision and to sign legal documents then the property transfer would be possible. You will have to contact an attorney to confirm his physical state and whether as per laws in your state he can take legal decision in the physical state he presently is in.

what do you need to bring with you to do a quick claim deed?
Hi Mary,
To do a quitclaim deed, you may have to bring some documents related to your title to the property to prove that you are the sole owner to that property.

IF MY MOTHER SIGNS A QUIT CLAIM DEED TO ME AND HER. SO THE
HOUSE IS STILL HERS BUT MINE TOO. WHEN SHE DIES WILL ALL I HAVE
TO DO IS SHOW A DEATH CERT? DO YOU SEE ANY REASON WHY THIS IS
A BAD IDEA:

Hi Patty,
After the death of your mother, you will have to remove her name from the deed by filing an affidavit of heirship. Then, you will gain sole owner to the property. But I cannot understand why have you stated that it is a bad idea. Can you please explain?

I am going through divorce, two years ago my spouse did a quick claim deed to me on our home , as he was in a financial mess, now that we are going to court does he have any rights to the home?
Hi Kay.
Welcome to the forum.
If your spouse has quitclaimed the property to you then he cannot get the property back unless you quitclaim the property back to her. BTW if he can proof that the deed was invalid or your pressurize him to sign the deed then he can get the property back.
Best of luck,
Larry
