Re: Quit Claim Deeds
If you quitclaim all of your interest to him, then you will no longer be on title and he could sell it. If you quitclaim a partial interest, then it would be much more difficult for him to sell his interest in the property and you would remain on title.
Giving your son an interest in your property may have unintended consequences. Please see an attorney for further advice before you act on this.
