my father is 92 and in ill health. my sisters and i have discussed the possibility of adding our names to the deed to facilitate the sale of his house and he has agreed to do so.is a quit claim deed the best way to go in this situation and if so, do we need to see an attorney or do it ourselves. also, is there a better way to approach this other than a quit claim deed? ex. power of attorney etc. he already has a will, leaving everything to his children.
Your sisters and you can ask your father to sign a quit claim deed in your favor. Once the property is transferred to you, the sale of the property would become easier. It is better to contact an attorney and get the deed drafted from him. Once the deed is signed, you will have to notarize and record it at the county recorder's office.
