Upon my seperation and eventual divorce, my parents bought a foreclosed property for myself and children contingent upon giving them my lump sum I would be getting from disability. I have done so and only owe them a small amount now. We did not put my name on the deed due to the situation and the time as well as credit issues.
However, now I would like to access some of the equity I have. How would a quitclaim work in this situation. It was not a gift, so I don't want them to get socked on taxes, but we also never filed a "contract".

hi heldski!
welcome to forums!
if the property is in the name of your parents, then they should sign a quit claim deed and transfer the property to you. they can mention a stipulated sum of money in the property deed as the sale price which will not make it a gift transfer. you can even contact a real estate attorney and he may be able to help you further in this regard.
feel free to ask if you've further queries.
