I have a friend who is in prison who is a mexican national. His wife died a few year back. Nine days before she died her daughter who is my friends stepdaughter. she had her mother quit-claim the property in the Buckeye area. Now, he did not sign no quit-claim deed over to her. Does he have any rights to his property? Since the property was in both their names

He probably owns it all. His status as a "guest of the State" and foreign citizenship has no bearing. If title was held by both of them, vesting can't be changed without both of their signatures. The Quit Claim is invalid, and cannot be enforced. If they resided in a community property state, title passes to him upon her death, after probate. Your friend needs a lawyer.
Hunter2- you have no idea what you are talking about. Why did you attempt to answer this question? This is Yahoo! Answers, not Yahoo! Guesses.
Was he in jail at the time?
Is he a convicted felon?
While I'm not an attny. If the answers are yes to the above questions, then I think the answer is no he doesn't own the property.
But check with an attny, for sure.
If the property was in both their names, then I think it now belongs to dad and daughter. Mom could quit claim her interest in the property. She cannot quit claim what portion does not belong to her.
