six years ago i alone inherited a property from my mother. i added my minor daughter's name to ensure that she would get the house in the event of my death (big mistake). however, i am now unable to refinance or sell because her name is on the deed. is there a way for me to legally remove her name since she didn't inherit the property? i just did a quit claim and added her name can i petition the court to remove her name form the deed.
Hi Guest,
A minor cannot legally own a real estate property. But since you added her through a quitclaim deed, I believe you can also take her off the title using a quitclaim deed. You need to get a quitclaim deed signed by your minor daughter whereby she will give up her interest in the property. You can then have it notarized and recorded to get the title solely in your name.

Hello Guets,

Make sure to record this with the county and the fee should be nominal
Good luck
