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. Sussane

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. Sussane

Hi carmen, You will have to record the deed at the county recorder's office where the property is located. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial sucess

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.
