Does a Will override a Quitclaim deed?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
It appears that the quit claim deed was executed after the will was signed by your mom and is a valid conveyance. As long as the transaction occurred in good faith between your mother and the grantee to the quit claim deed, he or she has a valid claim to the real property. To be on the safe side, I strongly recommend you get a consultation with a local attorney.

If my father planned for separation, does this factor into her claim?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Not unless she had moved out more than a year prior to his death. If it was for more than a year, you have an argument under Michigan law. Otherwise, they would have had to have been legally divorced in order for her not to receive her share of the estate. There are ways that your father could have disinherited his wife. By failing to set up his estate plan, it sounds like his intent is only going to be partially honored.

Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
Although you would have occupancy rights in the homestead, it's a bad idea for him not to have a will.
