Did you give him money as consideration for the quit claim deed when he got out of jail? If he doesn't agree, he will have to sue you in Circuit Court. Sounds like a decent case to defend. Contact me at www.kliszlaw.com to discuss further. Tim Klisz

Re: land contract/quit claim deed

he will have to prove that the signature is not his, or that he did not understand what he was signing. if you know he signed it, then he has no leg to stand on. if you are in lawful possession of the property, he will have to file a lawsuit to prove otherwise.

if he does, and you need a lawyer to represent you, please contact me.

thanks.
