Posted on: 07th Oct, 2007 04:36 am
My daughter has bought some land and the title is in both her name and my name her mother . I am paying the money she did this because our credit was not the best . she wanted to no how to deed it over to me so we can start to build on it.
a quit claim deed is suitable for you and your daughter , your daughter can apply a quitclaim deed to you and this can transfer the name of ownship. it's easy and simple. quitclaim deeds transfer or "quit" any interest in real property. the grantor may not be in title at all, so the grantee cannot assume that the grantor has any real interest to convey. however, if the grantor were, say, married to the owner of the property, signing and recording a quitclaim deed in favor of the spouse would transfer any interest the grantor may have in the property to the spouse.

Hello Tdyadon,

Your daughter can simply remove her name from the title by signing the quit claim deed.

Quitclaim deed is a legal document. This will help you to transfer your daughter's interest to you. Here your daughter will be the grantor and you will be the grantee. To make the deed valid a notary public should sign and stamp the deed. Few states like Ohio, South Carolina, Vermont etc. require the deed to be signed by witnesses apart from the notary to make the Quitclaim deed valid. After that, the deed will be recorded at the County Recorder's Office or Land Registry Office. The name of the office varies depending upon the state where you own the property. So if your deed is recorded, it will be valid.

Hi mammy,

Taking your daughter off the title without her consent isn't possible. To remove her from there, you need to get a deed, quitclaim or grant, signed by her. This will transfer her interest to you. I think you should try and resolve the matter through discussion as this won't be possible without her signing the deed.
