my daughter's grandfather passed away and she is in his will along with her aunt and uncle. her uncle is the executor and has sent her a quit claim deed to sign for the house. the house is paid off and he said to avoid probating the will it has to be in his name to sell. he has a buyer and the price is fair market value. he was the guardian of his father while he was alive because he had alzimers. i want to know if it is ok for her to sign the quit claim deed or is he trying to take her share of the money. he is not very trustworthy and already didn't include her in the life insurance proceeds.
Hi queenofads!
Welcome to forums!
If there is a will, then it needs to be probated. Unless the will is probated, the property won't get divided amongst the heirs. I don't think it would be a good option for your daughter to sign the quit claim deed. I would suggest your daughter to contact an attorney and take his opinion before signing the deed.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
