Quit Claim Deed Michigan

Posted on: 13th Aug, 2008 01:49 pm
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
In California. Thank you in advance for your help. This is a great site. Recently in court there was a court order for my ex-husband to deed over mountain property (currently both of our names are on the Deed) to me and in exchange I would write off a certain amount of child support. My middle name on the original deed is spelled wrong. Lyn has two n's where it should have one n. So is there a way i can correct the spelling and deed the property in one transaction? What deed form should I use? Also is there an easy way to check if both properties are clear (no liens etc.)

Hi Brian,

A quitclaim deed needs to be recorded at the county recorder's office. This will make the deed valid. As far as I know, a deed needs to be recorded during the lifetime of the grantor.

To Terry,

You can check out the county recorder's office or contact a title search company in order to know whether or not there is a lien on the property. I don't think the correction of the name would be done by signing one deed. I would suggest you to contact an attorney and take his opinion.

Hi Ali Chalhoub,

You can check out with the county recorder's office to find out if there is any other owner of the property. You can also contact a title search company and they would help you in finding whether or not there is any other owner of the property.

Thanks

the property is in vermont. the person who resides in the house wishes to maintain residency. the co-owner (soon to be ex-wife once all the nonsense is taken care of took off and moved to michigan) has signed a quick claim deed. it has yet to be filed as the wife needs money first.

if the money changes hands and the quick claim deed is filed in vermont :
1) does the remaining owner have to refinance?
and
2) does the ex wife retain any claim to the house? is there something to be filed in michigan?

Hi Kitsy,

If the wife's name is on the mortgage docs, then the remaining owner, i.e. the husband, will have to refinance the loan in his name. This will release the wife from the responsibility of paying the mortgage payments.

Once the wife signs the quit claim deed and it gets recorded at the county recorder's office, then the wife will have no claim over that property.

Thanks

If I have a judgement and do a quitclaim to my spouse, does this protect the property.

On the quitclaim is a amount needed to make it legal?

Hi RL!

Welcome to forums!

As you already have a judgment against you, it won't be a good idea to quitclaim the property to your spouse now. It might be considered as fraudulent and you can be penalized for the same.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

We have forged quit claim (between a brother and sister) The forgery is difficult to prove.
Some research has indicated that Michigan had a law in which an additional witness was needed in addition to the Notary. However I'm only finding the Notary acts as both.
Is there still such a law?

Hi Corinne!

Welcome to forums!

Well... I'm not sure about this law in Michigan. I will suggest you to contact a local real estate attorney and take his help in this matter. The attorney will let you know whether or not there is any such law.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
