Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
How to respond to hearing over quitclaim deed
My house was in both, my daughter and my name. She quit-claimed her part over to ex husband recently, then regreted it.. So now, He has sent letters, from his atty telling me that I need to sign a quit claim deed for the other half of the house and have it notorized, as the first one was not notorized and not legal. I know nothing of the first one!... He is taking me to court to get me to sign a quit claim deed for the other half of the house.He claims I signed one in 2000 without any witnesses or notory. I in no way willfully signed a quit claim deed, I did not know what such a thing was then, but He being in Real Estate,I remember at the time, asked me to sign a paper giving Him and my daughter permission to ''fix up the house with any improvements''. I in no way can afford an attorney.I am in the house presently making payments.I can barely make it financially, because I am single, and only working part time. I am suppose to go to a deposition soon, and in Dec. have been ordered to appear in a judges chamber for a ''pre trial''. This has been my home for over 10 years... I need advise.
Thank You

Ask your lawyer. If you do not have one, get one as you are over your head in this matter.
