My mother has POA over my 95yr old grandmother's affairs. My grandmother currently lives alone in her home and she rents an upstairs apt to a family member without a lease. This family member had my grandmother sign a letter that they wrote stating it was ok to do $20k worth of upgrades to the apt and now they refuse to pay rent. They have manipulated my grandmother into letting them stay. My mother is at a loss to get them out but was wondering if she could get a quitclaim deed to the house so it would be in her name instead of my grandmother so she could then evict the tenants. Is this possible as she has POA?
a quit claim deed transfers only a share in interest of the concerned property. it does not, however, warranty the rights over the property. this means you will not be able to use the property at your will; the granter will still be in the title.
to transfer the house completely in your mothers name, your grandmother can sign a warranty deed which will transfer the authority over the house from your grandmother to your mother. your poa will help here.once the deed is signed, your mother can successfully evict the tenants.
make sure, the property is free from any kind of lien whatsoever. if not, then a warranty deed will not be applicable. quit claim deed, however, will be possible, but that will not transfer the ownership of the house to your mother completely.
