Q: How can a grant waiver deed on a residential house be rescinded?

My father, deceased, and my brother along with I are on the grant waiver deed. My brother sold me the property in 2008 and I want the grant waiver deed rescinded so my neighbor and I can get a lot line adjustment since a part of his house is on my property. Please advise.

A: A grant waiver deed is a legal document that transfers ownership of a property from one party to another. In order to rescind a grant waiver deed, you would typically need to go through a legal process to have the deed invalidated or cancelled.

If you and your brother are both listed on the grant waiver deed for the residential house, you may need to work with him to rescind the deed. This could involve negotiating an agreement to transfer ownership of the property back to him, or to transfer ownership to another party who is willing to work with you on the lot line adjustment.

Depending on the specific circumstances of the case, you may need to hire an attorney to help you navigate the legal process of rescinding the grant waiver deed. An attorney can advise you on your options for resolving the issue, and can help you draft any necessary legal documents or agreements.

It is important to note that the process of rescinding a grant waiver deed can be complex, and may involve multiple parties and legal requirements. It is important to approach the situation carefully and to work with an experienced attorney to ensure that your interests are protected and that you are complying with all relevant laws and regulations
