My Mother deeded her property to me in 1983 with a life estate for her. She sold a small lot of it to my aunt and uncle in 1987. My mother passed away in 2000. Now, the Aunt wants to sell this lot that joins another lot the aunt purchased earlier. As they were checking, they found that my mother had sold the lot and she only had a life estate. I was not consulted or even aware of this sale until it was done. They are wanting me to sign a quit claim deed. Also, this second lot they supposedly bought cuts off access to a barn and to the rest of my property. What happens if I do not sign this quit claim deed?
