I have been given the warrenty deed to a piece of property (75'X100') around Brownwood Texas by my neighbor. How do I get it transferred to me? Is lawyer involvement required?
Thanks for the help.

Hi Russell!

Welcome to forums!

As the neighbor has signed a warranty deed in your favor, you do not need anything else to transfer the property in your name. It is already transferred in your name. You will have to notarize and record the deed at the county recorder's office. This will make the deed valid.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Post     Post subject: Transfer Ownership in a divorce - TX

Hello,

My wife and I are getting a divorce and she is going to transfer her ownership in the house to me. We have a mortgage on the property with Wells Fargo. Do I need to use a Warranty Deed or a Quitclaim Deed in this instance? How should the mortgage holder be listed on whatever document is correct in this instance? We are not modifying or refinancing the mortgage at this time.

Thanks!

Hi r_kain!

Welcome to forums!

In order to transfer the property to you, your wife will have to sign a quitclaim deed. Your name would be listed as grantee of the property in the quitclaim deed. If the mortgage is in your name alone, then you do need to refinance the loan. But if your wife's name is on the mortgage doc, then you need to refinance it in order to remove her from the liability of paying the mortgage.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Hi carmen,

You will have to record the deed at the county recorder's office where the property is located.

Post     Post subject: How to file a warranty deed - Denton County, TX

Can the warranty deed just be mailed to the County Clerk's office? Is the filing fee made payable to the County Clerk?

I don't think you'll be able to mail the deed to the county clerk's office. You will have to personally record the deed at the county recorder's office.

Hi Maria,

Your question is not clear to me. If you've lost the property deed, then you'll have to contact the county recorder's office and get hold of the duplicate property deed.

My husband I purchased a home in August and paid cash. We just received our title policy and our general warranty deed. Do we need a deed or title that shows we own the home or does the warranty deed do that? If yes, should we go back to the title co?

Welcome htx,

Your general warranty deed will mention the fact that you're the owners of the property. However, you'll have to notarize and record the deed at the county recorder's office.

Post     Post subject: Over 65 Homestead Exemption and Survivor

Current conditions:
Property is in Texas and I have a homestead exemption.
Name of owners on warranty deed: myself and ex-spouse.
Property was granted to me in divorce decree.
Ex-spouse signed Quit Claim Deed and I recorded it.
I have remarried. Current spouse is over 65.

What I want to do:
I wish to change ownership from myself to myself and current spouse to make the property community property and claim the over 65 tax exemption.

I wish to include some text that makes the surviving spouse the sole owner should one of us die.

I’ve been told to use a Quit Claim Deed to do this. But I don’t free a Quit Claim Deed is the proper tool.

How is this accomplished with a Special Warranty Deed in Texas?
