i filed and recorded a quit claim deed (removing my mother - 84 yrs old), she now needs long term care through the state and i'm told i have to reverse the quit claim deed and put her back on the deed or they will charge a large penalty transfer fee which will result in her being disallowed for long term care paid by the state. the property is still in florida and my mom and i now reside in maine. i called the county courthouse and they said they never heard of reversing a quit claim deed. what do i do?
Hi ellenfoster!
Welcome to forums!
In order to reverse a quitclaim deed, you will have to sign a quitclaim deed and transfer the property to your mother. You will be mentioned as the grantor of the property whereas your mother will be listed as the grantee to the property.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

I still want to be on the deed, it's actually my property and I pay the mortgge. When I bought the property (which is in a 55 + community) I wasn't then 55 yrs old and I bought it for my mom and sister to live in. I had the quit claim deed filed because I was now over 55 and also wanted to protect my property. I moved my mom to Maine with me and rent out the condo. My mom now is in need of long term care and the State says that since the quit claim deed is less then 5 yrs old I have to put her back on the deed or face a severe transfer penalty which will all but disallow the care
Welcome Ellen,
It is true that Medicaid has a look back period of 5 years. Any transfer of property within the last 5 years will make your mother ineligible for Medicaid benefits. In such a situation, you'll have to add your mother to the property deed.
