My uncle, back in 2003, took my grandmother a "quick deed" property form and had her sign it over to him while she was suffering Dementia. Can he legally lay claim to that property (she had three separate estates) which she had wanted to originally be divided equally for her three children (including him) by her Executive of her estate. My grandmother died in May 2007. And if not, how can the other two siblings reclaim it? :(

I have been dealing with grant deeds, gift deeds and quick claim deeds as well as a messed up greedy family. Did your grandmother have a will? If she did then you have to show proof of the Dementia (shouldn't be hard to do) that would show she had no idea what she was signing and your uncle could be in trouble for elder abuse (the courts have an area for this dealing with family members and out side parties ripping off there elders (just learned of it myself) also did he file this with the assessors office? If not then you have a chance. When an estate is valued at a certain $$ amount it has to go threw probate if she has 3 estates then most likely your going to have to go to court and have an executor assigned so get your ducks in a row, find out what has been filed with the courts (you will need an APN# if your dealing with property) and get all the info you can to show the judge what is going on.
