my grandma just passed away. She left my uncle her house about a year ago. i beleive he has a quick deed on the property. Does this mean the property is his. Is there anyway my grandma other children can get ownership over the house. My grandma did have a will so is the will valid even though my uncle did a quick deed about a year before my grandma passed
Welcome celmore,
A quitclaim deed comes into effect during the lifetime of the grantor. Thus, if your grandmother had signed a quitclaim deed and transferred the property to your uncle, then he will be considered the sole owner of the property. As the will comes into effect after the death of the grantor, it will not be given importance in this case.
