Form for waiving legal rights to a property to a sibling.
My mother lives in the ''family house'' that was left to her and her 5 other siblings at the death of their parent. Is there a form online or somewhere else that the other 5 can sign to waive any future rights to the property and sign over their right of ownership to my mother?

They need to sign a Warranty Deed, but you may want the help of a lawyer or title company to see that it is prepared right.

Look for a form called waiver of right, or waiver of interest, or waiver of inheritance. If the other four waive their right to inherit, then all their portions go to the fifth.

I don't know enough facts about your situation to discuss this in detail. I can tell you that in these situations, I would normally suggest your going to a title company and asking what they want in order for you to have clear title to the house. They'll usually tell you for a nominal fee which forms you need. You can then hire your own lawyer to prepare them. My suspicion (based on a number of assumptions) is that you would need an heirship affidavit (to clear title to the siblings) and then warranty deeds from the siblings to whomever is keeping the home.
