Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan
Warranty deed or quit-claim deed ?
I would like to transfer the title of my house to a third party, but my sister and I are both listed on the deed. Can I transfer the title without having her sign a deed or do both of us have to sign a warranty deed?

You can only legally transfer your half. Your sister will also need to sign the deed to transfer her interests.

Re: Warranty deed or quit-claim deed ?
Why a warranty deed? You should probably not be doing this without the advice of an attorney; and I don't mean based on answers from this website. Although these answers are very good and thoughtful, for the most part, they are not legal advice and not a substitute for a consultation with your own attorney.
