Dear JACUSTOMER - You would have to file a suit to void the deed. You would have to show that your mother was mentally incompetent at the time she signed the deed to your sister. Verbal promises are not enforceable so whatever your Mom promised that was not in writing cannot be used as a reason to void the deed. This would have been a lot easier to have challenged at the time the deed was filed since proving the mental status of your Mom two years ago will require so expert testimony from a medical professional as to her state of mind. You could also contact the person who notarized the deed to see if the notary had any indication of a mental problem. If your Mom was mentally capable of making decisions then it is doubtful you will be able to get the deed voided. This can be a complicated an expensive lawsuit since you need to be able to gather the necessary proof of mental disability which will require paying an expert witness to write a report and/or to testify in court. So you have to also determine if 1/4 of the value of the property is worth the cost of filing suit.
