My brother, sister and I are Power of Attorneys for my mom who is near death. Her will states that everything must be divided 3 ways. I have reason to believe that my brother is trying to quitclaim the deed to the house without our knowledge or consent. Can he successfully do this?
Hi guest,
Well, for a quitclaim deed to be valid, it has to be signed by the grantor (one who transfers the property) in the presence of a notary public who then needs to sign and stamp it. So, unless your mother signs it, it will never be possible for your brother to quitclaim it from your mother. Moreover, he's not the only one who's got the power of attorney, you guys also have that power. So, I don't think, doing a quitclaim, for your brother, without your or your mother's knowledge, would be possible in any way.
