i want to transfer ownership of a parcel of land to my neices and nepews on behalf of my mother, i am her power of attorney. none of the neice/nephews are 18 years of age- can i do that with a quit claim deed - and do i have to list someone that is over 18 to oversee the transfer on the deed?
Hello Melanie,
Is your mother agrees to quitclaim? You should ask her permission to quitclaim. Now if she agrees to do that it is ok. You can quitclaim on behalf of her to your neice/nephews. I suppose there is no law that says one cannot be the owner before 18 years. But you should make someone guardian who will take financial decisions on behalf of them

Hello Melanie,
You can always use a quit claim to transfer ownership among the family members. The deed has to be notarized and recorded at the County Recorder's office in order to make it valid.
If your state laws require the signature of the grantees on the quit claim, then you should have the legal guardian of your niece and nephew to sign on their behalf. Even if you want to sell the land after transferring it to them, you will require their signatures and consent before doing that. So, they should have a legal guardian as they are minors.
Do you have a mortgage on that land?
