Re: Real Estate

It will take some work to try to get the title all in your name. As a practical matter, once you put someone on a deed, unless there was fraud, mistake, duress or something like that, you can't just take the recipient off of the deed.

So, you will want to talk to an attorney about various ways to get the property back into your name entirely. You may find that you have to purchase it back.

You should absolutely consult with a real estate lawyer who knows how to litigate such cases because you may very well need to file suit (or at least threaten to do so) to create leverage to get her to reach an agreement with you.

I am happy to chat about your options == give me a call at your convenience.
