One is the original property his mother gave him. The other is my grandmothers property that she left him in her will. My mothers name does not appear on the deeds of either property. My father has early stages of dementia. My mother is fine. I am interested in having her name added to both deeds to the property and I would like to know how to go about doing this. I currently have durable power of attorney.
Hi lildwilson,
In order to add your mother's name to the property, you will have to ask your father to sign a quitclaim deed in your mother's name. Once the deed is filled out, it has to be notarized and recorded. As you have a durable power of attorney, I don't think you will be able to sign the deed on your father's behalf. It will be better if you can check it out with an attorney.
