Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Quit claim to a minor

I live in my home with my 11-year-old daughter. My ex-husband, ex-inlaws and myself are on the deed. The deed is joint tenancy with sole rights of survivorship. My ex-husband wants me to pay him $5000 to quit claim his portion of the house to my 11-year-old. The mortgage is in my name and my ex-father-in-law's name. I have always made all the payments myself. Is anything other than the standard quit claim form required in quitclaiming to a minor? Will it suffice to list the name of the transferee on the quitclaim deed as ''myself, as custodian of my daughter under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act?''

Re: Quit claim to a minor

Although property can be conveyed to minors, I

usually advise against it. I strongly suggest

you make an appointment to consult with an attorney

so that you can be advised of all the ramifications.
