my 81 year old friend gave me a quit claim deed on his property because he is worried that the person living with him (who signed the quitclaim deed) will gamble his property away and wants me to take posession of the property. can the friend challenge the deed? i have the signed deed and the 81 year old buddy put in his will that the quit claim deed is valid. is this the best way to do this?
if the quitclaim deed has already been recorded in the county recorder, it is valid. But why do you say "can friend challenge the deed" - oh, you mean if the other person would challenge. well he can, but I don't think it's going to work for him because the Will states tat the quitclaim is valid. Your buddy must have consulted an attorney for the Will, so I feel it's the right way.
Hi,
If you have noterized the deed and recorded it in your county recorder office, then the quitclaim deed will be counted as a valid deed. But I have not understood why are you saying-"Can the friend challenge the deed?". Is he the co-owner of the property?
Thanks,
Larry

Hello Immad,
Is this person an heir to your friend or some kind of relative?
If not, and if he does not have his name on the title, then he has no right to the property and cannot contest the quit claim.
If the quit claim has been recorded, then the ownership will transfer to you.
Since the will also has your name as the beneficiary, I don't think there could be a problem.

If the deed is notorised and properly recorded with the county it is valid you own the property. However any liens left on the property will have to be taken care off so that state or bankk wont foreclose on it.
He can challenge it. But if what you said is true, "he signed the quit claim", he won't have a case.
