Tax implication of Quit Claim Deed

blue · Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2006 4:05 pm Post subject:

Hi,

Quit claim deed is meant for property transfer only and has nothing to do with the mortgage.

So, I don't think it will be wise to leave your rights of ownership on the house as the mortgage will continue to be in your name only. Since you are the only one whose name is on the loan, so you are still eligible for total repayment of the loan

If you want to quit claim to some one refinance the mortgage along with it and transfer the mortgage in his/her name.

To avoid trouble, go for the refinance first and then quit claim and it's better to refinance it to your husband as none will accept, in my view half of the property against the total loan.

Regards,
Blue

does a quit claim affect the credit of the person. if so how long?

I think not, until and unless there is not delay in payment and all.

Hi TC,

If your name is on the deed and you are renting the property then the rental income should be added to your income.

Any expenses made towards the maintenance or running of a rental property is tax deductible.

Following are the areas where you can get a tax deduction -

Any interest paid on a mortgage taken to improve rental property.
Any expense made for the repair of a rental property.
Rental property owners are entitled to a tax deduction whenever they drive anywhere for their rental activity. Also, they will get deductions for their hotel bills and meals.
If any part of your property in rent is damaged from an accident, then you will get tax deduction on the damaged part.
Any insurance paid towards the rental activity.
Fees paid to the attorneys, accountants, property management companies for operating your rental property is tax deductible.

So, I shall advise you to consult an attorney and check for any of these activities performed by you so that you get a tax deduction.

Regards,
Blue

Once a quit claim deed has been signed over to someone, should the deed be taken to any branch of county or state office in which the property is located to be recorded by them for any reason, or just put away for safe keeping.

Hi TC,

Welcome to MortgageFit Forums.

For safety and avoiding future hazards the deed should be notarized and recorded with your local county's recorder office.

You can refer this section on quit claim deed for better understanding.

God bless you.

Hi Skip,

Welcome to MortgageFit Forums.

A quit claim deed can be used to take possession of an abandoned railroad. But make sure that the railroad doesn't fall under government property.

There are some changes in the real state depending upon the state and to be safe it's better if you once consult a local real estate attorney and show him all the documents.

Get back to us if you have any more queries.

God bless you.

Sir:

My two brothers and myself have two very elderly parents. They are near the time when caring for them is about 100% within the family. Secondly, one brother has very few finances and is now living with mom and dad and will need to live with them to help care of them and eventually live in the home after they pass.

The question I have we want to put the ownership of the home in two brothers names, and allow the thrid brother to live there, as well as take care of mom and dad.

Is a quit deed the route to go to keep the home in the family.

thank you

Hi Beermeister,

Welcome to MortgageFit Forums.

It's nice to find that you care so much for the family. As far as I understand that you want the name of you and one of your brother's names on the deed.

A quit claim deed will allow you to do so. You should consult an attorney and involve him in the process and get the deed notarized.

Feel free to ask if you have any more queries.

God bless you.

Hello,
My mother is 82 years old & is getting ready to finally pay off her house. I live with my mother & I'm disabled. She wants to make sure the house is protected if something happens to her.

Should she turn the house over to me after it is paid off?

Thank you,
LK

She should probably add you to title and get a will drawn up if there are other heirs.
