removing a name from a home deed

[kdse0123]

What is the name of your state? FL

The house is in my brother's name, yet he freely added me to the deed in case something ever happened to him. Now, he's married and wants to take my name off the deed. Can he do this? How can I stop him? If he sells the house, am I entitled to 1/2 of the money? There is no mortgage on the house - it is owned free and clear.

Thanks!

Oh for Pete's Sake! You are trying to s***w your brother out of half a house he bought and paid for, because he THOUGHT that it would be nice as a single guy to make sure you got the house if he died?

Now he's marrying and he's concerned for his future family and you think it's more important for you (who did NOT buy it and whose name is only on it by the grace of your brother trying to look out for you) to get the house than his wife and any future kids?

What the heck kind of brother are you? You WANT a house- go out and buy one yourself. Sure you can legally stick it to your brother for trying to be a nice guy. Maybe you could even sleep at night. But what kind of sibling would do that?

**A: then damn it, have some patience and wait your turn. Nextwife is very busy so don't bother her.
Also, the proper word is know, as in "people who know about this stuff".

Let me go back a bit - my mother died in 95 and dad remarried. When he passed away, unexpectedly, in 02, the evil step-monster made a deal with us children that she could have a lifetime estate on the house, yet would put our names on the deed, so that if something happened to her, the house would go to us, not her children. She "changed her mind" after we gave her 1/4 million dollars. Two years and a lawsuit later, she put my youngest brother's name on the deed - the only child of our father's she could control -because she bankrolls his sorry self. I was put on the deed by him, at a later date, as a safeguard, should he try to sell it, or something else.

Now, he's married - he wants to sell the house (that he paid NOTHING for) to my other brother for $100K and keep all the money for himself. I want to prevent this - can I??? If so, what are some options I might pursue?

Sorry for not making my story a bit clearer......

**A: if you were put on the deed, then you are part owner. Don't you realize that maybe you need an attorney?

This is a whole different story than the one you implied in your original post.

Another question:

Does evil stepmom STILL have a life estate?

The story keeps changing so I'm gone.
