Prelude: My mother (an only child) died when we were kids/ I was the oldest at 11 when my father sent us from Michigan to Georgia in 1978. In 1981, my mother's mother died (I was about 13), but before she did/ she had my Aunt Z - her sister-in-law to "watch" over her property so my father could not get it. In 1983, we visited Mi and saw Aunt Z - she denied that my Grandmother left us anything. I talked to her in 1995 and saw her again in 1996- again, she said she owed us nothing/ I moved on, but sent her Christmas Cards every year. So moving forward to 2008 - Z's sister, who is over her well-being for the last six years - signed my grandmother's house over to me without my knowledge or approval - because two years ago the City of Inkster told her that she had to tear down the house. (She even had the nerve to mention in the document that the probate court gave us the property in 1988- WOW!!!) To make it worst, she gave the estimated bill to the city of Inkster - $7,000!!! And told them that she wanted time to find us (my grandmother's grand kids). She only briefly talked to me - told me Aunt Z was sick/ mentioned that they were going to tear down my grandmother's house (which was upsetting to me - but I had nothing to do with that) and some other blah blah.
SO now I want to know how in the world can this happen----that they denied us almost 30 years worth of rights to the property and through their negligence, let it become in a state of condemnation - that is now ok for them to attach my name to this property and make me responsible for the demolition that the City of Inkster will charge me for (should I mention that it is the letter from the City that alerted me that my name had been attached to this property!!!) Ok - what now---I live in Maryland and I have not live in Mi in 30 years / I know nothing about the property - other than what she and the City has told me (again, I was 11 when we were moved). Help?? :shock: And I am going to try to "Quit" claim this mess right back to her- is this do-able!!!

You can quitclaim the property back. However, I recommend you hire a local attorney to investigate this issue and represent you if necessary.
Hi Celicia I!
How can your Aunt's sister sign the property in your name? Was her name on your grandmother's property deed? I think you should follow what JHeard has said. You should immediately take some legal from a real estate attorney.
Thanks.
