Re: quit claim deed forms

If the property is in MI, then you will need a MI deed. However, it may not be as simple as that. Who now owns the property depends on how your husband and his mother took title to the property as well as who their respective heirs or devisees might be. You will need to contact a real estate attorney licensed in MI to help you with this.

You will need Michigan forms since the property is in Michigan. But the title sounds like an issue since the two prior owners are deceased. Look up the Michigan State Bar Association and try to get an attorney referral up there to ask about ownership now that the owners are deceased.
