Since the one daughter refuses to sign the Quit Claim Deed, do I have a chance in court?

Answered by attorney Christine James
Estate Planning lawyer at James Law Group
You may not have to take her to court and signing a quitclaim may not be the way to go. Sit with an attorney and go over title and your father's estate planning documents and see what can be done.

Answered by attorney Mark T. Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
Don't know. It depends on whether or not they can get along. What you might do is name one person to fill all three roles, but upon the death of the last of you, the people you originally chose would be named, if it matters. Or perhaps even better would be to name a professional, e.g. trust company, to handle the financial portion of the estate and a relative to be the person who makes life decisions.
