Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan

Estate

Currently, my dad has given me his house free & clear. Years ago, after my mom died, he added my name, my sister, and my brother onto his deed, therefore in all four names. He now would like to get it into only my name. It is paid in full, no leins on it.

Can't dad, my sister and my brother just sign off of the deed and then it would be mine 100%?

They are not against this happening.

You are correct. You need a deed getting the others off the deed, leaving only you. I can assist you in drafting said deed. Please visit www.kliszlaw.com to get started. Tim Klisz

Re: Estate

If your siblings will prepare Quit Claim deeds granting the property from the sibling to you, you will own the property free & clear.

If you would like assistance in preparing the Quit Claim deeds I will gladly prepare them for you for a small fee, or walk you through their preparation. They should be signed in front of a witness and notary public and you should have one from each sibling. You will then have to file the deeds with the register of deeds in the county in which the property is located.

I can be reached directly or via my website at www.lawrefs.com.
