- Subcategory: Deeds

- State: Michigan
Answer:
If your mother and father owned the property as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, the property now belongs entirely to your mother. To add an adult child's name, she can use a quitclaim deed to transfer the property from herself to herself and the adult child as joint tenants with rights of survivorship.
