Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
quitclaim deed
My elderly parents and my husband and myself own home together. However their names are not on our mortgage but on the deed, which they did a quit claim deed on.
Can my home be attached to fulfill their fincancial debts?

Re: quitclaim deed
Not unless they place the home as collateral, or have a mechanic's lien placed on it. But, if they are not on the title as you say, then they cannot legally encumber your home.
