Q: Can I file a quit claim deed on my fathers home without harm to his VA mortgage on benefits?
A:
The answer you seek would require me or any other attorney to review all of your dad's estate planning documentys and assets. Plus, the latest deed and lien on the subject property. Why are you giving a deed?
Do you own the property with your dad?
I can guide you, but do not execute or file any deed unless you have it reviewed by a professional. Especially if it has been made part of an Estate Plan. Texas has a five-year "lookback" period on all asset distributions. There are also many other considerations that may be involved, and any significant move or transfer, may "blow up" the well-planned estate plan.
Be Patient, If you need more infor or a through review, contact me or another lawyer on Justia.
Good Luck!
