My mother as the only life tenant, quit deeded it to a brother who is a remainderman. Me and another brother are also remaindermen on this estate!

Terry Lynn Garrett
Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
A quitclaim deed cannot transfer title.  The only thing it can do is note that the signer quits making a claim to ownership.  That is why it is best used with disputed easements and rights of way. The owner of a life estate (your mother, since a quitclaim deed cannot transfer title) cannot do anything which would damage the rights of the remaindermen.  (Note that the situation is different if this is not a simple life estate but a general warranty deed reserving extended life estate a/k/a Lady Bird Deed.  Your mother could revoke that at any time before her death.) On your mother's death (which terminates the life estate), your brother could file a claim against her estate for "loans" for improvements -- but would have to show tbey were not gifts.   Show the actual documents to a local real estate lawyer so that she can advise you based on the facts.

Once a will has been made, can the other spouse change it?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Victor L. Waid (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of Victor Waid
It appears your mother and father held the property in joint tenancy title, and one of the rights to that form of title, is the right of survivorship, and she would have survived to your father's share of the residence, regardless of what his will states, as the joint tenancy title is a during life document, whereas a will is an afterlife document, and therefore is not effective against a right of survivorship, as your mother survived to the title to the whole property. Thereafter, she can make out her own will, and direct the will to pass the house to whomever she wants, and no signature is required from anyone.

Can I represent my deceased mother? How?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Yes, you have a right to read the Will. As far as "representing your mother," it is unlikely that that is necessary. You would be representing your own interests in the estate, if any. Keep in mind that the Will only applies to "probate assets." These are assets that are titled in your grandmother's name alone, with no joint owners or beneficiaries. If there are no such assets, then the Will is irrelevant.
