Post     Post subject: Deed of Grant

is it possible to convey property through a grant deed wihtout paying anything for it? (No cosideration for the transfer of property) and if yes, how is that captured in the deed?

Hi twilight,

It is possible to transfer the property through a grant deed without paying anything for it. You can mention in the grant deed that the property was purchased for $0. However, you will definitely have to pay the transfer fees, stamp doc fees, recording fees etc. You can contact an attorney and he would draft the deed for you.

Thanks

Post     Post subject: Texas Warranty Deed

I was told that in the second paragraph of the warranty deed it must state, "$10.00 cash in hand paid, and other good and valuable consideration this day paid in cash by . . . . ." is the way it must read on the warranty deed even though $10.00 is far from the amount I am paying for the land. I am wondering if this is true and if so why? I feel the amount I am actually paying for the property should be where the $10 amount is in this paragraph. Please advise.

Nancy

Hi Nancy!

Welcome to forums!

Even I feel that you should mention the exact amount that you are paying in the warranty deed. I would suggest you to contact a real estate attorney and take his help in this regard. He will help you in filling out the deed in a proper way.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Hi molly,

I don't think you will be able to change the deed alone. You will have to inform all the other owners about the change. You would require a new grant deed in order to do so. I would suggest you to contact an attorney and take his opinion.

My friend in a moment of extreme stupidity put her then boyfriend on her deed he (after he created a major stink). He then proceeded to take advantage of her and then disappear on her. It's been over 8 years since she has seen him. How can she remove him from her deed as she wants to sell the house?

Hi brothwell!

Welcome to forums!

It will be difficult for your friend to remove her boyfriend from the property deed unless he signs a quit claim deed in her favor. I would suggest your friend to contact an attorney and take his opinion in this matter.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Post     Post subject: deed in lieu

we are attemting to do deed in lieu on a property deed that is held by a llc company, having 4 managing members. the bank has rejected our request stating that title held by company needs corprate resolution done by attorney. does this simply mean they want the deed transfered back from the llc to the original owners on the mortgage, & can we simply deed the property back to ourselves, as the 4 of us were the owners before we deeded the property to the llc for liability purposes.

Yes guest, all the 4 owners of the property will have to sign a quit claim deed and transfer the property from the LLC back to their names and then apply for a deed in lieu of foreclosure.

Post     Post subject: Quitcliam

Great info.! Does anyone know if a quitclaim deed can be changed back into a warranty deed? We had the warranty deed but made a change between family and now have a quitclaim, which I have been told is the lowest form of deed. I would like to change it back, but not sure how. Thanks!
