In 1983 my mother and father transferred as grantors to myself and mother as grantees. Both parents retained a life estate. My father passed in 1993.
1. Question Since mother still alive I was only a remainder?
Now in 2004 A sibling slipped a transfer deed by my mother . I and my mother just found out about the transfer in June of this year.:eek:
The deed says from my mother to my 3 sibilings by name as tennants in common.
With my mother retaining a life estate.
My Question is this. Should this new deed from my mother also list me as a tenant in commons to the other three?:confused:
I believe I still own 1/2 undivided interest right? Though a future owner an owner none the less, I hope?
My sister believes I only own a quarter now. So it may end up in court if she won't except the facts.:(
Should I have a new deed done with my name or is the old one showing the original transfer enough to show my proper ownership?
Even if I need a lawyer I want some heads up info.
I am paying for a lawyer to help my mom get her share back but if that falls through I want to know my rights and beable to defend my position as rightfully owning a 1/2 undivided interest.
Thank you
P.S. if I need to get a new deed which one or method should I use. Example quit claim to myself?
