Hi kinyo,

If the grantor does not file the new deed, it won't be considered as a valid document. The property transfer would not be complete. Once the deed is filed at the county recorder's office, the property deed is considered as a valid document for the transfer of the property.

You mean you need to list the motgagee on the Warranty Deed not just the Deed of Trust in Texas? Is there a sample somewhere?

Post     Post subject: Quit Claim Deed

HI - My question is this. I own half a home with an older gentlemen in his 80's. The home is paid off and is in both of our names. What do I need to do to make sure I get this home when he passes? He is willing to sign whatever I need, we just don't know what it is. A quit claim deed?

Hi,

To mchast,

You can check out the following page to get a warranty deed for Texas:
"legalmessenger.com/warranty-deed.htm"

To Guest,

You can ask the co-owner of the property to sign a quitclaim deed with a life estate clause it. The life estate clause will help the co-owner of the property to stay in the house until death. After his death, you would get the property. Alternatively, as the property is free and clear, you can even use a warranty deed to transfer the property in your name.

Thanks.

Post     Post subject: Interest in house

Texas: A man married someone and she had a lake house. The new husband made all payments for 2 years. They refinanced the house and she died 7 months later, and leaves the house to her grown son by another marriage. He had signed the new mortgage note with her. Does he have any claim to the house?

Hi Helper,

While refinancing the property, was the husband included in the property deed? If his name is on the property deed, then he would be able to claim his interest in the property.

Post     Post subject: Texas warranty deed

We live in Dallas. My uncle bought a home about 3 months before he married my aunt. When they got married, my aunt made him put her name on the title because she wanted to be a part of the house ownership. They never refinanced the mortgage to both of their names. It has been three years, and their marriage is very bad. He wants her off the title now, and said that he can do it without her signature. is this possible?

No - I asked - Can he do this WITHOUT her signature of approval? I think he wants her out of the house, and regrets allowing her name on the title. She would not have moved in without him doing so, because she sold her own home to live with him. He bought it 3 months before they were officially married, then they hired a lawyer to draw up a warranty deed giving her half. Mortgage is far from being paid off. Now he wants her off. can he do this without her consent? He said anything can be done with a good lawyer.

Your uncle will not be able to remove your aunt's name from the property deed without her signatures. She will have to sign the quitclaim deed in his favor.

We made a sales contract with the buyer and it pays of in Nov 2009.

Hi RDM!

Welcome to forums!

As you have the power of attorney to sell off the land on your father's behalf, I don't think you would face much problem in selling it off. However, I would suggest you to contact a real estate attorney and take his opinion in this regard.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

I didn't think there would be a real problem - since we entered the contract in 2006 while he was alive.

I will heed your advice and see a real estate attorney to make sure everything is completed corectly.

Thanks,

Post     Post subject: warranty deed

Hi everyone,

I have question on Warranty Deed. I just purchase 1acre trac. This is my first time buy real property. We did not go through title company. The owner just have is the warranty deed to sign in front notorities. We than went to county clerk office recording to sumit the notorities. County clert recording kept one paper and we all have one. What the recording clert told me is that i wont get the title to the property just the deed. She told me to check back in about couple weeks to County tax office to see the paper went through. My question is, is this legal and would i be able to get my name on the property when the property tax come at the end of the year. Is this the right procedures. And how about my title, is the warranty deed same as title to the land. Please help.....

I don't think you should face problems in getting the property deed in your name. It may take some time to complete the the formalities to record the deed. May be that's the reason why the county clerk has asked you to check out in a couple of weeks.
