How long before a person dies must a quit claims deed be sig

Posted on: 18th Aug, 2007 06:27 pm
My mother-in-law is 83 years old and not in good health. She would like to sign a quit claims deed over to her children before she dies. Is there a specific time limit on how long a person must live after signing a quit claims deed?
No Amt, there is no such regulation which states that the property owner should quit claim the house a specific number of years before her death.

Thanks

I would suggest that as your mother in law is not in good health you should go through with the title transfer at the earliest. In case she becomes mentally incapacitated then she will lose rights to sign on legal documents. It may cause further problems with completing the property transfer.

Hi Amt,

I feel sad for your mother-in-law's health. But there is no such particular time limit for grantor of a property to live after signing a quitclaim deed. So, you must not worry.

Take care of her health.

As soon as the deed is signed and recorded, grantor loses all rights over the property. And can move out at any time.
