Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
Quitclaim Deed
Many years ago my grandfather changed the names listed on the deed to himself and 3 children. he was listed as party one and collectively they are listed as party two. Can this be changed in anyway again without the consent of all of them or can a will change it?

It soundsnlike the children are tenants in common. Grandfather cannot will the part that he gave up and consent is required from the children.

Re: Quitclaim Deed
A will can only devise the part that the testator (the maker of the will) owns.
A transfer requires the consent and execution of the deed by all of the owners of record.
I am not certain exactly what you are attempting to do.
