Welcome Georgia,

If no court proceedings have been started against you, then you can transfer the property to someone else with the help of a quitclaim deed and keep a life estate for yourself and your daughter. You can contact an attorney and he will guide you further in this regard.

THank you! Do I have to inform the bank (lender) before doing a quit deed? I think I am really running out of time, can I just purchase a quit deed and get it noterized? I really dont have the money to get an attorney...

Hi Georgia,

It is better to inform the lender about your property transfer. If the lender has any objections to it, then he will let you know about the same.

Thanks

The Lender isn't going to allow you to change Title - the Title must match the Note. And if you do the Quit Claim without informing the Lender, the Lender can immediately call your Note due and payable. There isn't a legal way to avoid the lien.
