A friend wants to transfer title of his property to me. In a title search I discovered his sister has a quitclaim deed on the property. BUT the sister filed the deed in his mother's name as owner, after the mother's death.
The mother's name is not on the titles of the property. I have been paying the property taxes for the last 7 years. Where do I stand if the title is transferred ? Does the sister have any claim to the property?

I think sister may get some proportion in this deal as many of the times heirs do not have to file anything in order to get their names on need. once their parents are no more then their names are automatically deleted from the deed once death certificate is submitted and their heirs get the rights in equal proportion.
so here also your friend will get some share as well as his sister.I advice you wait till the point you get clear title on your friend's name and then it can be purchased from him.
