Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Didn't the deed to you and your sister say "in trust for [your granddaughter's name] until she reaches the age of majority, and at such time, legal title to vest in her" or something like that? If it didn't, you'll have to sue to impose a constructive trust and have the title confirmed in your daughter. Find a lawyer who understands what that will require in the county where the property is located.

One of the problems you will have to face and solve at the same time is providing for the expenses of maintaining the property - both repairs and replacements and paying taxes and insurance on the property without disqualifying your granddaughter from any government benefits she may need and be entitled to. You and her parents should also be consulting a lawyer who is familiar with special needs trusts to assist you in that planning.

THIS RESPONSE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND I DO NOT HAVE A REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT WITH YOU.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
