Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Relinquising Rights
My husband was named executor of his fathers estate. It consist of a home. There are 5 other siblings that everything is to be split equally with. My husband wishes to get his name off of everything. The deed to the house has gone threw probate, and all six names are now on it. He wants no part of it anymore. Can he have a quit claim deed done to do this, and will it keep him from any financial responsiblities if the home goes into foreclosure? Can he forfeit all his rights to anything to do with the estate? Everything else has already been split and taken care of except the house which is up for sale.

Re: Relinquising Rights
Assuming that your husband did not sign a promissory note to pay for the property, he can wash his hands of this problem by deeding his interest over to any or all of the other co-owners. Probably a smart thing to do!
