Owner Has Quit Claim

[questionshaveI]

My question involves real estate located in the State of: California - Los Angeles


The owner of a quadplex is being asked to produce a Grant Deed in her name that doesn't exist. The history of ownership is:

Mother/Stepfather - Grant Deed to
Mother's Trust - Quit Claim Deed to
Daughter's Trust - Quite Claim Deed

Can the daughter go to the L.A. County Register and get a Grant Deed in HER name using the paperwork listed above? The mother has passed away, btw.

[Mr. Knowitall]

If you're asking whether the daughter can transfer property out of her revocable trust and into her own name, assuming she's mentally competent yes, she can.

And she is over 18.

And she is over 18.

Thank you for your response. Yes, she's over 18. I don't know if the transfer via a quit claim deed was done for financial reasons or just convenience. If it's the former, it may not be in her best interest to transfer the property from her trust to herself via a grant deed.

if whomever is requiring a grant deed, she may have no voice in the matter. All a grant deed is going to do is warrant that the title has not been encumbered in any way not specifically disclosed to the buyer and that the seller actually holds title to the property.
