She’s on title. you cannot unilaterally remove her. she needs to execute a quitclaim back to grammaw. if she is unwilling, its too bad and so sad…
putting a druggie on title is almost as dumb as putting a girlfriend or boyfriend on title

Here’s the scenario:
Little old grandmother builds and solely owns and runs a 12 unit apartment complex in Mississippi for 20 years. She unwisely decides to have her daughter added to the deed, as agesture of godwill and in hopes it will straighten the child out. Since then this daughter has become a drug addict and convicted felon, serving a couple of years of prison for drug related crimes as well as theft. Now that she is out of prison she is pressuring grandma to give the property over to her. In addition she is involved in drug dealing on the property as well as collecting rent to fuel her drug habit, even though she does nothing to contribute to running or manageing the properties. Grandma is always surprised to hear that a tenant already paid the rent “to your daughter”.
Is there a way to have this undeserving daughter removed from the deed so she has no right to the property?

ash,
John Merchand said it right. Money for deed. Setup a “mini closing” with notary and druggie daughter.
No signature, no money.
Hopefully she will sign and go to rehab.
Good luck,

No, a grantor on a deed cannot later change her mind and un-deed it.
But she might use a little psychology and strategy and tell the daughter that unless she deeds it back right now, the Mom is going to let the world know about daughter’s ownership interest so her creditors can come after it…and then offer the daughter a few bucks, cash, to deed the property back to Mom.
A little bit of cash can work miracles with druggies and drunks as they’re in constant need of quick fix.
