Hi,
My aunt is the guardian for my grandmother. My aunt signed a quickclaim deed as the grantor, transferring the property to herself. Can a guardian sign a quickclaim deed, transferring property to themsleves without the signature of the grantor?

Hi Denise,
Welcome to this forum.
I think property cannot be transferred to anyone without the sign of the owner. As you have said that your aunt is the guardian of your grandmother, now I would like to know if your aunt has any power of attorney or not? You can talk to an attorney also.
Thanks,
Larry

Hello Denise,
If your aunt has been authorized by the court as your grandmother's legal guardian then she can sign documents on her behalf.
But, I'm not sure if she can sign a quit claim as the grantor to transfer the property to herself.
It will be better if you consult an attorney and take his advice.

Talk to an attorney. Nobody can say without seeing the legal paperwork of her guardianship.
