What is an instrument of estoppel

Posted on: 24th Dec, 2007 06:31 am
i am a grantee on a quit claim deed on a house. can this deed be used as leverage during a mediation hearing for a divorce.
Hi rubenusmc,

Welcome to the forum.

Instrument of estoppel stops or prevents the grantor of the quitclaim deed from claiming the property later. Through the quitclaim deed the grantor quit all his or claims from that property.

“Can this deed be used as leverage during a mediation hearing for a divorce.” As a grantee if you have made the deed valid then you can give the property away or use it during a mediation hearing- it is totally your decision. But I shall suggest you to consult with an attorney before taking decision.


Best of luck,
Merry Christmas:)

Hi,

Quit claim is considered as an instrument of estoppel because it will prevent the grantor from taking any legal steps to recover the property from the grantee.
