hello,
my father and his spouse have lived together for 25 years. they purchased a house in 2000 together and both are on the mortgage and deed. in 2006 she had him sign a quit claim deed becuase we knew that he would need government assistance in the future for his disability and we did not want him to have large assets. she never recorded the quit claim deed at the wayne county michigan register of deeds office.
she has now asked him to move out becuase she does not want to help him with his disability.
what is the statue of limitations to file a quick claim deed in wayne county michigan? i have tried to contact their office but no one ever answers the phone.
is the quit claim deed still valid if not filed?
any help is greatly appreciated as any equity in the house will help support him and get a place to stay.
thank you,
jim

Hi Dawnie!
Welcome to forums!
Your mother can use a quitclaim deed to add your name to the property deed. She can contact an attorney and get the quitclaim deed drafted. Once the deed is filled out, she needs to notarize and record it.
Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

I have a deed alredy recorded in my name can the person who originally drew up the claim later add a stipulation and rerecord the deed again without my knowledge?
Hi Betty!

If the deed is presently in your name, then no one would be able to change the deed or add any clause to it without your consent or signature.

if you signed quick claim deed can you suppress it or is the any recorse if you didn't know what you were signing
Hey girlie,
If anyone forced you to sign a quitclaim deed or if you signed the deed without knowing what it was, you can file a lawsuit in the court and get the deed reversed. However, you will have to consult an attorney in this regard.

We have a real mess on our hands! we are divorced and we have 3 houses (which we still owe money). I acquired 1 of the houses in the divorce but, that house still needed alot of work. I got an equity line of credit for a construction loan of $50,000.00 and that was not enough to finish so I payed for it thru credit cards which totals out to be a grand total of $144.000. Now, I am filing for Bankruptcy since I can't keep up with the payments on all these credit cards.The construction loan was in my name only but initially when my x-husband and I purchased the property he had it on his equity line of credit for $44,000.00. I guess what I want to know is can I sign over all houses to him and let him pay for them. I will definitly lose the house which I acquired in our divorce but, I don't know about the other houses. I am on the mortgage for them also. What do I do without jeapardizing my x-husbands assests/property?
Hi esthervargas,
As you are planning to file bankruptcy, I don't think you should transfer your property to your ex-husband now. The bankruptcy trustee may consider this as a fraud and can penalize you for this. If you transfer the property to your husband now, you won't be able to file bankruptcy for the next one year.
As you cannot pay off the credit card debts, you should first try for the option of debt consolidation or debt settlement. This will have a lower effect on your credit report compared to filing of bankruptcy and you'll also be able to pay off the credit card debts.
Thanks

Hi Dee!
Welcome to forums!
You need to contact your county recorder's office and check out whether or not the deed is valid. If the deed is still valid, then you can record it. However, if the deed is not valid, then you will have to sign a new deed in your ex-partner's favor. If the deed is not valid, then you will have rights to the property.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Hi~
Two people are on the title. Myself and another. The mortgage is in my name soley. We no longer wish to live together and the other person has agreed to sign it over to me. My question is on the form do I list her as the grantor quit claiming to me, or do I have both of us as the grantors quit claiming to myself?

Sorry live in Michigan.
Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your help.
OK last question:
The last part about the foregoing instrument was acknowledged before me.... by is that just my name or mine and the other person?
Then the notary Public info goes in.
We will both be at the notary together to sign.
Again Thanks a lot,
Becky

Hi Becky,
You can list the other person as the grantor of the property and your name should be mentioned as the grantee to the property. The grantor needs to sign the deed when she transfers the property to you. As far as your signatures are concerned, you can contact a real estate attorney and take his opinion in this regard.

does a quiclaim deed need to be filed or recorded in Michigan. It is notorized, but not filed. Is it still good if filed after death?
