Deeding real estate to adult children
My mother-in-law would like to place her home in her two daughter’s names and remove her own name from the deed. She will continue to live in the home as long as she is able to live alone and care for herself. There is no mortgage or lien on the property. I have copies of two forms I received from Georgia: A Warranty Deed and a Quit Claim Deed. Which form would be the most appropriate to use? Can we do this without benefit of an attorney, or should we use an attorney? If we can do this without an attorney how do we register the new deed properly?

Thank you for your consideration.

Lien
Our homeowners association has a lien on a property that owes for several years of non-paid dues. A few months after the lien was placed, the ownership of the property transferred to someone else either through a quit claim deed or some other instrument. What happens to our lien against the property? Does it stay attached to the property, or do we need to sue the previous owner?

property division
My ex-significant other and I split up 3 years ago (he doesn’t live with me and I only recently was able to obtain his phone number). We have 2 children together. He hasn’t seen them since we broke up. We jointly own a home which he has not paid a dime on in 3 yrs. I have an interest only loan which has recalculated every 6 months. He wants me out of the home and refuses to sign a quit claim deed. He only recenlty starting paying child support and is in arrears for several thousand dollars. My credit is shot due to the swings in my mortgage although I can now afford it. What can I do to get him off the deed and out of my life for good? He has demonstrated that he has no interest in the kids (13 and 10). I don’t want to partition because I will not be able to obtain a mortgage due to my credit record.

assumable mortgage
in my final divorce decree, my ex-wife is required to refinance the marital home at which time i will sign the quit claim deed over to her. (the house is im my name alone). she wants to assume the mortgage i currently have. is this a reasonable thing for me to consider? she has very bad credit and makes the current mortgage payments late every month. i have read online that lenders can come after the seller as well as the buyer if there is a default or some such thing. should i just push for her to get a mortgage on her own so i am free of any liability?
