Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Maryland

Probate Question

Dear Sirs,

My question regards a Condo I jointly own

between my Mother and myself in which I had a

3rd party (Brother)co-sighned at time of purchase

of home.

My question is how do I protect myself from my

Brother making a claim on my home before my Mother

dies? My Mothers intentions are that I totaly

inherit the home but I feel that her will is

not as important as to whom is on the deed ?

Should I have a ''Quick Claim Deed'' / or something

like that prepared?

Your advise will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Probate Question

If your brother is willing to sign a deed (whether a quitclaim deed or warranty deed), when the deed has been recorded in the Land Records office in your county, that will be sufficient to remove his name from the title. Otherwise, it appears that he and you will be co-owners after your mother's death.
