I would like some advise on my current situation taking place.
My Grandpa is getting old, and possibly does not have to much longer to
live.
Right now, the title to his property is in both his name, and the name
of his 2nd wife (not my grandma).
He has tried to get a divorce from this lady for the last few years
with no hope of it happening in site.
He's a very old fashioned guy, and the riverside county courts have
basically favored his wife on all grounds, with her even filing claims
of abuse, etc which never took place resulting in restraining orders
etc. so he has been living in the garage on the property since December
of 2001 with no air conditioner, or heater for that mater.
Anyways, when they got married her (2nd wife's) daughter ended up going
to jail numerous amount of times and her daughters babies ended up
growing up and getting taken care of by my grandpa. These 2 kids are
around 17, and 18. Both have records ranging from GTA, Burglary etc. so
he's spent a hefty part of his life with them and thus takes care of
them regardless of what they do. Recently one of these kids pushed him
down, resulting in him breaking his hip. My mother (his daughter) spent
2 days calling hospitals, adult services, police to finally locate him.
So with all of that in a nutshell, he's in a bad way, and to nice of a
guy to do anything about it. The property has a house he built him
self, and has lived there for at least 40 years and all of these people
treat him like total crap, but hes to stubborn and kind hearted to do
anything about it, so ends up getting taken advantage of almost on a
daily basis.
I do not, and my mom don't want his 2nd wife, or those two children to
take full ownership of the property if he passes over.
I've no law experience what so ever, and no financial ability to get
a lawyer to help me.
I was curious if I could get a quitclaim deed, and have his ownership
interest signed over to my mom if that could work on if he passing,
half the property would then already be in control of my mother. The
way I understand it is, if both my grandpa, and his 2nd wife's name is
on the deed, then they both hold a 50% ownership interest. Although, if
we would require a signature from his 2nd wife, it's simply not going to
happen. She's stated numerous amounts of times about how she cant wait
until he dies so she can give the property to her kids.
Would a quitclaim be the best option in this kind of situation, or is
there an alternative route I should take?
I'd so appreciate any help any of you can give, and thank you in
advance.
