My mother had a lawyer do a quitclaim deed for the property that she had in FL and upon her death it passed to 2 of my siblings and myself. We are thinking about selling the property and it seems that we are told that the quitclaim deed is not correct something about my step father needed to sign a paper even though he wasn't on the land to begin with. he had to sign a paper saying that he had no ties to the land. now we are told that we have to patition the courts to have it fixed. Do you kow if this is true?
Hi MaryA!
Welcome to forums!
Florida is a separate property state. If your step-father's name is not mentioned in the property deed, then he cannot claim any rights to that property and thus, he won't have to sign any deed to remove his name from the property deed.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
