Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts

Changing Deed

In 1995 my g.mother deeded me her home. I had the deed for 4 years and then I had to sign it over to my sister. She has had the deed since 1999. Now my g.mother wants the house/Deed back and wants to take her to court. Can she(g.mother) get it back and remove my sister from the deed? Or can my sister deed it back to me? We are doing this because her daughter wants to take the house after her death and we do not want that to happen. What kind of law prevails since my g.mother paid off the house and wants to change ownership?

Re: Changing Deed

This is a complex web. Assuming your grandmother deeded the home to you without any conditions, then it should be smooth sailing for you and your sisters. If there were conditions, then were they in writing or oral? Simply the law is that if you give something unconditionally, then you lose any rights to it.
