Since NV is a common law state am I entitled to part of the house/equity? Even if a quick claim deed was signed?
If so how do we claim this?
answered on Oct 26, 2022
Nevada does not recognize common law, but is a community property state. This means that anything that is acquired during the marriage, debts, properties and/or assets are subject to equitable division upon a divorce. Thus the house that was purchased during the marriage would have been subject... Read more »

Your question as written does not make sense. You might think it through and try again with more details. Otherwise, you could consult with a Nevada attorney.

Hire a competent NV attorney to draft a new Note and a Modification of the existing Deed of Trust. It is better for the mortgagee to keep the recording priority of his Deed of Trust as modified of record. But the old Note needs to be released.

The title company has no legal authority. Sell to someone else or hire a competent NV attorney to handle the conveyance. There are some very good NV lawyers here on Justia.

The short answer to your question is: Likely not.

You need to hire a Nevada probate attorney to help you probate your father’s estate according to his will. It sounds like that process hasn’t even begun. If it has begun, then you need to hire a probate attorney to protect your rights.

Unless there is some contract, she cannot force him to convey out. Examine the divorce decree carefully. In all likelihood the Mother's only recourse is to file an action for Partition. But even that does not put anything in your name as basically you have no legal standing.

My mom quitclaimed her fully paid house to me a year ago and has just passed away yesterday. I have a brother who my mom has no communication with trying to step in on the property. Does he have a chance?
answered on Sep 26, 2020
Hire a competent attorney to perform a title search. He should be able to tell you what estate you have, and whether your Mother's creditors or heirs might be able to reach her real property. Hopefully your Quit Claim Deed says what you think. If so, he will not be able to eject you.

It depends on the contract, but they almost never will even if it is an option for them. Rather, they'll foreclose and take the timeshare back into their inventory should you fall behind on maintenance fees. I recommend reaching out to the timeshare company and offering to deed or return the... Read more »
