Post     Post subject: Changing Deed name

I have lived in this home since 1999 and the Deed is in my Mother's name. I have been paying the property taxes. My Mother passed away in 2003. How do I go about getting the deed in my name.

Hi Joni,

You need to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and transfer the property in your name. Also, you would require to submit your mother's death certificate at the county recorder's office.

Hi vashtigore!

Welcome to forums!

You have mentioned that the port has paid off the taxes. In that case, I think the port is the present owner of the property. As far as I can understand, if you want to get back the property, you will have to purchase it from the port.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Hi Guest,

The 3 siblings will have to file an affidavit of heirship and transfer the property in their names. Once you do so, you can ask your other two siblings to transfer their portion of the property to you with the help of a quitclaim deed.

Thanks

I inherited property and house from former mother in law. My wife wants to be added to deed in case I die before her, & so that she can sell it, if it gets to where she can no longer afford it.I had heart surgery last year.

Hi Larry,

You can add your wife to the property deed with the help of a quitclaim deed. Contact an attorney and get the deed drafted from him. You can even check out the sample quitclaim deed forms available online. This can also help you in adding your wife's name to the property.

Thanks

Post     Post subject: Mothers home

Hello, I live in Virginia and my mother (74 years old) lives in Dallas Tx. She has a mortgage on her home which is about $43K. The home appraises around $78K on Zillow. She lives on $800 a month social security. Due to the current loan she is in, either I would need to purchase the home from her or see if we could get a reverse mortgage. Which is best? I would like to purchase the home from her but I will not be moving to Dallas right away. What is the best way to handle this?

If you are trying to get the property on yoru name, you can always ask you mother to do a quit claim deed and add your name to the property and you cna still coninue to make payments on the loan

Make sure to notorize it and record it int he county office

No I am trying to purchase the home or make it where the loan stays affordable. She is not able to continue to make the loan payments with the loan % increasing.

first you need to think that what are you going to do with home. Purchasing is no doubt a good idea as it has Equity of $35K.

Otherwise your mother can take reverse mortgage loan. in future you can start paying it off.

you need to check whic one is better for you. if you want some more time to decide, reverse mortgage will be a better option

My business partner got seriously behind on his house payments and decided to walk before the mortgage co. evicted him. He also filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy recently. He has relocated to an apartment and isn't sure what to do with the house keys, notification to the mtge co., etc. Any thoughts?
