Deed of Gift

What is the name of your state? Virginia

I bought a house with my father - we owned it as tenants in common. I gave my wife a deed of gift for half of my shares 8 years later, but now my father says the Deed of Gift is invalid because he did not agree to this and the original division of shares was not enumerated. I believe he may be right.

**A: if the original "shares" or percentage of interest in TC was not stated, then it is said to be 50/50 among the two titleholders. If one tenant sells or gives their share or a percentage, the other tenant does not need to consent.
The real questions would be was the form of deed valid and was the deed recorded? Review the deed and the title report.

Thanks for the advice. I will check into it. Hope you can get out of your catatonic state someday. Have a great life, and thanks again.
