my mother in law asked my husband to sign a quit claim deed for her house. what is her motive and is there any benefit for us?
Hi klighthall,
I guess your mother-in-law wants to transfer the property in her name. You need to check out who are the grantor and grantee to the property. If your husband is the grantor, then he is transferring the property to your mother-in-law who, I think, is the grantee to the property. In such a case, your husband will lose the ownership rights of the property.
Thanks

Thanks for your response. I guess I was confused on all of the definitions and not clear with my situation. Let me try again.
My mother in law just separated from her boyfriend of 20 years, so he signed a quit claim deed so she has sole ownership of the house now (that's what is does, right?). She said that she now wants her son (my husband) to sign a quit claim deed to get on the house with her (is she confused, is it called a quit claim deed to transfer him onto the house?)
We are curious what the point of this would be?
Thanks!!

Hi Katie,
In order to transfer the property in your husband's name, your mother-in-law can definitely use a quitclaim deed. In this case, she will be the grantor of the property and your husband would be the grantee. Once the deed is filled out, your husband should notarize it and record it at the county recorder's office.
