 Posted: Sat Sep 19, 2009 8:04 pm Post subject: Divorce, TX homestead property transfer deed |
|
|
| Its about a house that was purchased after our marriage in the community state of Texas 7 years back, which is part of the homestead and was mortgaged. I have been paying for all associated installments/taxes/expenses ever since. 3 years later my wife deserted me moving back to her Country outside USA and filed a divorce petition there. As part of the divorce settlement she is willing to let me have this mortgaged house in Texas. I would like to know how to ensure a complete and final transition of the Texas property solely to me. Considering she is in another Country outside USA please specify how to authorize the documents for use in USA without issues. And, are there any formalities associated with the mortgage loan or the lender? |

| Teaxs is a community state. Therefore, you ask your Ex to sign a quit claim deed in your name. |

Hi onearth!
Welcome to forums!
As your wife is presently staying in some other country, before transferring the property through a quitclaim deed, take the opinion of an attorney. He would be the right person to guide you in this regard. I suppose, the property has a mortgage on it. If the property is solely transferred in your name, then you should refinance the loan in your name. Thus, you will be the owner of the property as well as the loan.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
