What are my options for taking my moms name off of deed?

You and your mother should submit the issue to mediation. That involves having a neutral third party negotiate a compromise and settlement between you. In legal cases, we often use retired judges and practicing lawyers, who specialize in doing this, and have training and experience. There are also family and neighbor mediators who are trained in trying to repair relationships. They are usually less expensive. The goal is to avoid the cost, waste of time, and annoyance of a lawsuit. A lawsuit will take a year. It could easily cost $30,000.00 to get to a point where the lawyers and the court would insist on a private mediation or a settlement conference with a judge, anyway. So why not do the mediation now, and save all that aggravation and money? If you appreciate this free advice, please remember to refer me to any friends or acquaintances who need a lawyer. Referrals are still our best source of new business. Do you have a revocable living trust to protect your heirs against probate? Probate takes forever, is expensive, and is annoying. Do your family a favor. Set up a trust, and put all your property, especially any real property, into the trust. Since it is revocable, you can change it, add to it, take property out of it, or even cancel it completely, at any time. We set up such trusts, provide a pour-over will as a back-up for any property that does not make it into the trust, provide you with blank durable powers of attorney for health care and financial decisions, in case you become incapable of making such decisions while still alive, and convey one piece of real property to the trust, usually the family home, for $1500.00. If you would like to hire me to do this, let me know, and I'll send you a list of the information I need.   Dana Sack
