    Can a quit claim deed be done at the closing table
    I am selling a house that I am half owner in on September 25 2012. I want to put my half in my son's name, since I am only a nominal owner for him. Do I file for a quit claim deed before the closing or after.

    Are you selling the property or is your son or both of you?

    I have a buyer and we are supposed to close September 25th. The house is in my name and my son's former girlfriend. I would like to sell my 1/2 to my son since it is really his house and I would like to do this before closing. I guess I want to know if I don't get it by closing can I do it at the closing table

    Me and my son's girlfriend are on the deed. I would like to transfer my half over to my son before the closing on September 25th. Can this be done at the closing or does it have to be done before we go into closing

    Why bother transfer it twice? I will only complicate matters. Is the ex going to sign off at closing?

    I don't believe I need her signature to transfer my half. Not sure what she will do.

    At closing, or before closing, really doesn't matter either way.

    If you transfer your half to him before closing, the closing agent will have to revise the paperwork while you cool your heels, is all.

    But I am unclear what you imagine you are accomplishing by transferring your half to your son, just so that he can turn around and transfer it to the buyers.

    So let me get this straight. You have a buyer for your half. Does this buyer know he's only buying your half?
