Hi bhicks!

Welcome to forums!

As far as I know, Michigan is not a community property state. So, once you add your sister to the property, it is she who would have rights to it. Your brother-in-law will not have any rights to that property as his name would not be present on the property deed. You can use a quitclaim deed in order to add your sister's name to the property deed.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Did you purchase the condo with a mortgage? If yes, your Note probably contains a due-on-sale clause that prohits you from modifying Title while the Mortgage is in place.
