My mother inherited family property from her aunt on our side of the family. Upon her death she does not want her 3rd husband to have claims on it upon her death. She is the sole owner of said home and property. She wants it to stay in her family. She owns it free and clear and he is not on any of the titles or deeds. Is it legal for her to use a quick claim deed to transfer the property to me, her daughter in case she passes on before him. Will that keep him and his kids from another marriage from having claims to our family property? Or should more be done, the home and property has been in our family for over 100 yrs. Can some-one help me with this? we need to do this very quickly and cheaply.
Hi ctpoma!
Yes, your mother can quitclaim the property to you and you should notarize it and record it in the county recorder's office. You can get the quitclaim deed forms online but as they vary from state to state, it is better to draft it from an attorney.
Thanks.
