I am in need of information on quitclaim deeds. My elderly mother owns her home and it is titled in her name only. My father passed several years ago. She does not have a living will and has not specifically left it to any of her children. She wants to have one of her children added to the title so that if something happens to her we won't have any trouble claiming her property. Is a quitclaim deed a way for us to do this?
Any helpful information would be appreciated! :P

hi,
your mother can add one of her children to the title by signing a quit claim deed. if the deed has joint tenancy with rights of survivorship stated in it, then the property will automatically pass to the co-owner.

Hello Yelaboo,
Quit claim is the best way by which your mother may add one of her children to the title of the property.
She has to sign as the grantor and put the name of her child as the grantee. The deed has to be notarized and recorded in the county recorder's office in order to make it valid.
If something happens to your mother, the ownership will automatically pass on to her child who is the co-owner, if the deed has rights of survivorship.

Hi Yelaboo,
Welcome in this forum.
I fully agree with Jenkin. Quitclaim is the best way to add her children in the title. Do not forget to notarize and record the deed in the county recorder office to make the deed valid. There is an article in this site regarding how quitclaim works. You can check it out- http://www.mortgagefit.com/quitclaim-deed.html
