Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Maryland
Probate Question
Dear Sirs,
My question regards a Condo I jointly own
between my Mother and myself in which I had a
3rd party (Brother)co-sighned at time of purchase
of home.
My question is how do I protect myself from my
Brother making a claim on my home before my Mother
dies? My Mothers intentions are that I totaly
inherit the home but I feel that her will is
not as important as to whom is on the deed ?
Should I have a ''Quick Claim Deed'' / or something
like that prepared?
Your advise will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Probate Question
If your brother is willing to sign a deed (whether a quitclaim deed or warranty deed), when the deed has been recorded in the Land Records office in your county, that will be sufficient to remove his name from the title. Otherwise, it appears that he and you will be co-owners after your mother's death.
