my wife and i tried to add my sons to a living trust and their names mistakenly also showed in a grant deed. now i tried to refinance but the title company told us that we have to hire an attorney to remove their name from a grant deed because they are minor. what is the best way to remove their name? can i do a quitclaim deed for this?
Hi lenvanle
A quitclaim deed could have been an option for you if your sons were adults. But as they are minor, it would be better if you contact an attorney and then go for the transfer of the property from their name to your name.
Thanks.

Thank Niicss for your answer. We contacted my attorney today but he is not sure what to do yet? We am thinking to suggest to my attorney to prepare a quitclaim deed with our sons as grantors, then my wife and I will sign the quitclaim deed for them in the front of our attorney because they are minor . What do you think about this idea?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hello Sussane and all,
We called a lot of lawyers and they said they will prepare us to see a judge, but it will take more than a month and a lot of money.
Help! As a biological parent, why can we remove the children from a grant deed when we had mistaken add them in the grant deed in the first place. Also we have created another grant deed to correct the first deed a month later. So the second grant deed just had our name (parent) and the trust. The county recorder office said that the second one should replace the first one. But the title company will not allow us to refinance because the first grant deed had our kid names.
So we are planning to file a quitclaim deed ourselves and put our three minor children as grantors. Then we will sign for them since they are minor.
we never file this quitclaim deed yet, we need to be careful not to make another mistake on the quitclaim deed. What should I check under these fields?

Hi Len!

I'm not a legal professional. It would be better if you could consult an attorney and take his/her help to fill out the quitclaim deed. The attorney could check out the deed and let you know if there are any errors or not.
