What about if a deed is filed and the signature does from the grantor has been forged? And it was notarized by a Texas Notary, what can the grantor do? Can he challange the deed validity?

Hi magda, If the signatures on the warranty deed has been forged, then the grantor can definitely challenge the validity of the deed. He can file a lawsuit against the grantee and may get the deed reversed. Thanks

Post subject: Divorce w/house in the mix

Is there a way I can deed my house (his name is also on the deed) to my ex-husband so that I can be done w/it once and for all? We divorced in 2007 and he "attempted" to sell it for almost 3 years (he refused to lower the price & I didn't push him). He finally decided to refinance it in his own name but discovered it had to be off the market for 6 months in order to refinance for both the mortgage & home equity loan. The 6 months passed & he finally submitted his loan paperwork and was then laid off of his job. He told the finance company & they withdrew his paperwork. He's been out of a job for almost a year now and I just want to be done with this. I'm getting remarried in December & don't want this hanging over my head any longer than necessary. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And for the record, I'm not asking for anything out of the house, it's all his free & clear, so I just want out. Thank you!!

If you're not on the mortgage docs, then you can sign a quitclaim deed and transfer the property to your ex-husband. Thus, you would not remain an owner of the property any more. However, if your name is on the mortgage docs, then though you sign a quitclaim deed, you would still be responsible for the mortgage. _________________ Good is the Enemy of Great.

I moved to TX from CA. In CA my husband was deported and we are not divorced. I have purchased a house, financed under my name only. Would he have any rights to the house if I file for divorce?

Hi Aloha, If the property has not been purchased by using the community funds, then I don't think he would be able to claim any rights to that property. However, I would suggest you to have a word with your attorney and check out if your husband needs to sign an inter-spousal transfer deed in this regard. Thanks

Post subject: WHICH FORM SHOULD I USE?

TX- This is a first time for us so I need your expert advice. My husband and I bought some property, from a friend, that has no home or utilities just some property out in the country. Which form(s) would you recommend I use for the sale? Would really appreciate your assistance in this matter.

Hi Guest! Welcome to forums! You can use a quitclaim deed to transfer the property to the new borrower. The deed will mention the amount for which the property has been sold off. Sussane

Post subject: Contract For Deed

Used in 2000, never filed, . The person I made this contract with paid on it for 9 years and hasn't paid any in two years. I can't find him. Can I just rip the contract and take my house back for resale?

Hi Linda, As the buyer has not paid to you for the last 2 years, you may consider the deed null and void. However, before listing the property in the market, you should consult an attorney and take his opinion in this case. Thanks

Post subject: What is the best way to handle this

My father is dying of cancer and asked me to check on the best way to handle his property. My mother is also deceased. He does not have a will. Would it be easier for him to do a warranty deed transferring the property to me while he is still living. Or could we use a quit claim deed with a retaining a life estate clause. I heard quit claim deeds were useless in Texas. Or if he hand writes a will leaving me the house, what would I need to do after his death to transfer it over to my name.
