Q: real estate issues
My boyfriend, currently incarcerated, over a year ago, he had granted me permission to sign his name on a quick claim deed to transfer the property into my name. This is necessary as his stepmother and late father were attempting to evict me from the house. Unfortunately, his stepmother is now trying to coerce me into signing the deed over to her, which I believe is an attempt to defraud me. She is offering to pay me…yet threatening me with court.
I feel entitled to the house for several reasons. During my residence, I was responsible for paying all the bills, including utilities, food, and other expenses, ensuring that everyone living there had a comfortable living situation. In essence, I was the sole provider and caretaker of the household. Despite my contributions, they have stolen my personal property and my child's belongings from the house.
I believe it is unjust that, after all my efforts and financial support, they are trying to take the property away from me.
