My mother "quitclaimed" her home to me when she found out she had terminal cancer. We had it signed and notarized. She passed much more quickly than they had predicted. I never filed the quitclaim deed. It was signed 1/22/10 and she passed on 2/5/10. Can I still file it? If so: do I keep the homestead status? Will I pay taxes/doc stamps, etc.?
Hi donnav,
As the grantor of the property is dead, I doubt whether or not you would be able to record the deed. I would suggest you to speak to a real estate attorney in this regard and take his opinion. If the property is transferred in your name, you will have to refile the homestead.
