Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Re: Deed to my house

Unfortunately you are going to have to bring a law suit against your mother.

You need to review the whole matter with an attorney who can assist in planning a strategy.

Good luck to you.

Re: Deed to my house

You asked about getting your mother's name off of your deed.

There are a few circumstances here and you will need to speak with an attorney to see which one is appropriate.

For instance, you may be able to file a corrected deed if you can demonstrate that her name was improperly listed. Or you can present her with a quit claim deed. If she did this without any legal entitlement to do so this may constitute a fraud. You don't necessarily want to play hard ball with mom, but you got to do do what you got to do.

The most likely means is that you will need to sue for partition. This is a poor choice as you will have the least opportunity to demonstrate that she is not owed any portion of the equity in the home.

The best bet is to hire an attorney to set out a strategy with you. Just save all of your paperwork and especially any communications with mom. Demonstrate that she has had no involvement in upkeep of the home, either physically or financially.
