i'm having a disagreement about if a person is deceased and the property is still in the deceased person's name ,there can not be a quit claim deed given to the relatives. isn't that true
no a quit claim will not work
Hi donnatheus,
"the property is still in the deceased person's name ,there can not be a quit claim deed given to the relatives"
Do you mean a quitclaim deed was already signed by a deceased owner during his lifetime? If he quitclaimed his property to someone during his lifetime and it was notarized and recorded, it should be valid. But if the deceased owner did not sign any deed, then a transfer through a quitclaim deed after his/her death is not possible.
