My jurisdiction is: California, USA
Several years ago my late husband formed a real estate development corp. with my late parents. He had POA on all land parcels sold thru this corp. One of those parcels was purchased by us. My late husband signed for my parents as seller ( with POA ) AND he signed as buyer ( warranty deed ). Since then this piece of property has been subdivided. I recently tried to sell one of the lots and the Title company informed me that the warranty deed with my late husband signing as both seller and buyer is a problem. They told me that my 2 brothers and sister need to sign a quit claim deed in order to clear this title issue or, if this isn't possible, pursue a quiet title action. If this case goes to court how big of a problem is the handling of this warranty deed likely to be ?
