Son Won’t Give Up Property Rights

A ThinkGlink reader writes that her mother wants to sell her house. The house deed has three names on it: the mother, the son and the daughter. The son won’t give up his interest in his mother’s property to enable the sale. The reader asks what legal recourse her mother has to remove the name of the son. Ilyce says the mother’s options are limited and this is a case that shows why parents should think carefully before executing a quit claim deed. The mother may have to share the proceeds of the home sale with her son.
