Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
In the state of Georgia, my now deceased husband and I own land jointly with right for survivorship. I have a firm buyer and their attorney wants my six children to sign quit claim deeds because the attorney that had Ed's will can't locate it. At one time we had quit claim deeded the property to our oldest son with intentions he would build. However, he moved to another state and recorded a quit claim deed back to us (my husband was alive at this time - he passed away 1/6/2012.
Why does the buyer's attorney require quit claim deeds from all my 6 kids?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Because he is doing his job to protect his clients and even in your own post you give us one reason why it is necessary (the deeds to and from your son). Otherwise, we have no idea what the deeds and title report reflect. You are certainly free to move to another purchaser, but they will likely have a similar request. It is also worth your time and money to have your own RE lawyer review all sale documents before signing. Neither the closing lawyer or the buyer's lawyer have your interests in mind.
