Quitclaim Deed Statute of LImitations

Posted on: 11th May, 2010 07:44 am
Both my husband's & my name are on the home's mortgage and in our '98 divorce, I signed my interest over through the quitclaim deed but my name is still on the mortage. We remarried and are divorcing again and wonder what my rights are concerning the property now. Thanks!
Hi Mimimarie,

As per my knowledge is concerned as you have signed quitclaim deed and transferred the property to your husband, he is the only owner of the property till the time he does not make you the co-owner of the property. However, as you are still in the mortgage, you are liable liable for the mortgage.
You can consult with a good attorney who can guide you better regarding your rights.

I was given a home through a quitclaim deed. It was done through a lawyer, witnessed, signed, and recorded. After 3 years and 9 months the person who gave me the property wants it back. I have paid the taxes on the home for three years and done many renovations. The person is angry with me because I told her some negative things about a family member. Can she take the home away from me. What are the Florida statute of limitations, two, three, five years? I have searched the Web and cannot find the answer. Thank you.

The grantor cannot forcefully take back the property. You're the owner of the property. It will be your discretion whether or not you want to give back the property. If the grantor forcefully wants to get back the property from you, then you can take legal steps against that person.

My husband passed away two weeks ago. He was the power of attoney for his Uncle for the past 5 to 6 years. His Uncle transfered his House into my Husbands and my name by the means of a quick claim deed. It was noterized and filed three years. Three days after my husbands passing his cousin had started proccedings to take over power of attorney, and that is fine but she has also started proccedings to reverse the quickclaim deed on his house. Is this something that i should be worried about?

Hi eag,

If the cousin successfully reverses the deed, then you will lose the property. You should contact a real estate attorney and take his help in this matter. He will guide you in order to deal with this matter.

Thanks

My ex-husband signed a south carolina quick claim deed over 6 years ago and passed away 1 year ago...left no will, nothing. His family is now contesting that he never signed the document. Can they do that? Isn't the document null and void because of his death?

Hi Denise!

Welcome to forums!

If the quitclaim deed has been notarized and recorded at the county recorder's office where the property is located, then the deed will be considered as valid.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Thanks Sussane! They are threatening forgery on the form, but I would think that only my ex-husband would have had the right to "sue" me or if he had a will noting a representative. Does that make sense?

Hi Denise!

Welcome to forums!

If your husband had signed the deed in your name, then no one can sue you. If your husband's family files a lawsuit against you, then you should fight the case and you may even file a counter lawsuit against them regarding the false case filed against you.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

my father sign a quitclaims deed to my sister without my knowing and my father want put my name on the deed

Your father does not need your permission in order to transfer his property to someone else. If your father's name is still mentioned on the property deed, then he can transfer his share of the property to you. However, if the whole property is presently in your sister's name, then she will have to sign the deed in order to add your name to the property.

Does anyone know what the statutes of limitations on a quickclaim deed in Missouri are? I have a family member trying to reverse quickclaim deed on my house because she did not know that it was quickclaimed to my late husband and myself by an uncle over 3 years ago.

Hi kathi,

Well, I haven't heard of any statute of limitations in regards to the quitclaim deed in the State of Missouri. You should contact a local real estate attorney and he will assist you in knowing more in this regard.
