My grandmothers house
My aunt went to an attorney and had her name put on my grandmothers house. When my dad asked about this she told him that he did''nt have to sign any paper work that as long as she signed it would cover him and he would be on without having to to sign . Is this true or should he have to sign the paper work to in order to have his name on the house

Re: My grandmothers house
The only legal way your aunt could become a co-owner of your grandmother's house with her is if your grandmother signed a deed to that effect, or if your grandmother had previously signed a power of attorney which gave your aunt the authority to sign her (the grandmother's) name to a deed. The same goes for your father, if his name was added to the deed at the same time. Only the current owner of the property signs the deed adding new parties.
