Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
If you were helping your mom with her finances, it is possible that your actions could make you liable. In general, though, you are not responsible for the debts of a parent.

Does a quticlaim deed to one child remove other heirs from any consideration

Arthur Harold Geffen
Answered by attorney Arthur Harold Geffen (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Dallas Estate Attorney
A quit claim deed is a deed without warranties of title from the owner of the property to one or more individuals or entities.  It effectively (even though it is not a great way to transfer title) removes the title from the owner's estate.  When the owner who deeded the interest away dies, the property is not part of his estate and thus not subject to his will or intestacy laws.
