Can he be evicted from a home that his name is on the deed?
Asked on Dec 27th, 2015 on Estate Planning - Indiana
More details to this question:
My dad bought a modular for my son and paid cash. Both their names are on deed. He told him he could have 3 years to get a mortgage. It has been 1 year. Bank said he can get mortgage with one more year time on job. Now my dad has a 40 year old girlfriend (he is 88) who has talked him into selling the modular. My son just got a registration letter telling him to sign a quit claim deed by January 20 and move out.

He cannot evict him. He can go to court to force a sale of the home, even if your son does not want to sign. Your son should contact an attorney to protect his investment in the house. (If your son has merely lived there for free, he may want to assign the QC deed and get out in a reasonable time.)
