If a person has ownership of a piece of property transferred to them, i.e. father to son via a quit claim deed; after the death of the father,would there be any liability for debts of the father? This is assuming no will in existence.

Re: Transfer of property
As long as the transfer of the property was not done as a fraud on the father's creditors, the son is not liable for the debts of his deceased father. It would require that you consult with an attorney and discuss all of the facts to determine if a fraudulent transfer was done.
