Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Idaho

Quitclaim deeds

My mother is currently still married but lives with another man. They have been together for about 3-4 years. In that time, they have spent a great deal of time remodeling his late mother's house. The man's sister signed away rights to the property in order for the financing of the project to be in my mother's partner's name. Since the house has been completed and the sister has seen the result, she has filed for my mother to sign a quitclaim deed and give any interest she has in the property over to the brother. My question is, once the sister signed away any ownership to the property, can she file for the quitclaim deed on the house? Does she have any legal rights to the property once signing her share of the property away?

Re: Quitclaim deeds

Unless she executed a written contract requiring your mother to sign a quitclaim upon the contingency, no she has nothing to enforce generally. However, she might have a claim for fraud if she can prove that she signed the property away pursuant to someone's fraud against her. My teleph # is 208-345-3817
