Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Arizona
my friends father is in his 80s and has a condo. Last year he drew up a will stating when he died it was to be split equally between his three children and his girlfriend. Now he doesn't want anything going to her. He is going to file a quit-claim deed to his three kids, but does he still need to change that will?

To answer your question, no, he doesn't have to change the will because the property would belong to the children upon recording the deed. I generally do not recommend that this be done as the father may need to sell the property in order to pay for his own care, support and maintenance. If he gives the property to the children, who is going to pay/care for him?
