My mother owned a condo with my grandmother and were joint on the deed. They paid cash for it and then took out an equity loan and then my mother passed away. I took the insurance money and paid off the equity loan and my grandma currently has a equity line of credit in only her name on the condo. Now my mother had no will so I went to probabte court and got papers naming me ex. of her estate. My grandmother also has no will and refuses to make one up. Now I want to get a quit claim done so when my grandmother passes away or sells that I get my mother's half of the condo and it all doesnt go to my greedy uncle. I havent talked to my grandma in 2 years because of all this (she says I am trying to steal her house).
Now is there a way that I can go to an attorny and file a quit claim form and she will have to sign it by law ?????? Help I am so lost and confused.

As far as I understand, you cannot file a quitclaim form and force anyone to sign on it. There isn't such law. You will have to request your grandma to sign over the deed to you so that you get your mother's share in it.
Oh peanut, I hope everything will be just fine with your grandma. Just talk to her explaining why you want her to quitclaim the property. Also, let her know that you have no problem if she stays on the property or in a property where you'll stay after the former one is being sold by you. Give her the assurance that you won't abandon her at this old age by keeping her away from her property. And, I guess this will work and she'll sign over her part of the deed.
Thanks.

Your mother and grandmother owned the condo. After your mother's death you received the half ownership rights she had on the condo through the probate procedure.
Grandmother won't be able to sell the condo without your signatures as you are co owner along with her. If she passes away her estate will go through the probate process but it will not include part of the condo that you own. So your rights over the share you own are secured.
"Now is there a way that I can go to an attorney and file a quit claim form and she will have to sign it by law"
quit claim deed can be used if she desires to give full ownership of the house to you. But as per laws there are no provisions by which someone can be forced to sign any deed.
