Question by Erika Rivas:
My parents were divorced some 15 years ago. My mom kept the house but a quit claim deed was never signed by my father. The agreement was that he gets X% when the house is sold. My mother is currently terminally ill. We are trying to obtain a living trust on her portion of the house. Lawyers have told us to have my dad sign over his portion to make things easier. My father is not a reasonable nor a caring man. He refuses anything of the
sorts. How do we go about transferring her name on the title to a trustee without involving my father? Can the living trust be made on her portion without transferring the title?
Answer By William Bronchick:
A person can transfer his portion of the property into trust without the other owner. If you mother is on title, she can quitclaim her portion to a living trust.
