Post     Post subject: house in Husband name am I intitled to any of it

My husband owned the house before we got married. We both made payments on the house, but in march we paid off the house and now its paid for.. But he is the only one on the title.. He has the house before we meet and so He was on the title.. But since we have been married for two years now and I have lived there and I have made house improvements to this house, am I titled to any part of the house if Im not on the title.

Welcome anonymoustexas,

Your name is not on the property deed. You can ask your husband to sign a quit claim deed and add your name to the property deed. This will make you one of the owners of the property and you will have claims over it.

Post     Post subject: False Morgage Application

I just discovered that my ex-wife may have placed my 14 year old daughter's name on a mortgage and used her social security number as part of the credit application. What can I do about this? What are the consequences re: my ex wife?

Welcome JoJo,

As far as I know, if a person is not 18 years old, then that person won't be able to get a mortgage. You can contact your lender and check out if there would be any actions taken against your ex-wife.

Post     Post subject: simple transfer of deed

Hello,

I've been living with my mom and paying the mortgage for her. The house was finally paid off in January.

My mom would like to transfer the title deed to my name. Should I do a warranty deed form or a quit-claim form?

Should this be done as a "gift" on my taxes?

Does she have to pay any form of taxes for this type of transfer?

Hi vu!

Welcome to forums!

As the property is free and clear, your mother can use a warranty deed in order to transfer the property in your name. Your mother can transfer the property as a gift to you. In that case, your mother will be responsible for paying the gift taxes. It is always better to take the help of an attorney while transferring property.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Hi natalia,

You need to sign a quit claim deed in order to get the property transferred in your family member's name. After a property transfer, you will be charged the deed recording fees, transfer fees, stamp doc fees, etc. If it's a gift transfer, then you would be liable for gift tax as well.

Thanks

Hi Guest,

The warranty deed needs to be filed at the office of the county recorder where the property is located. You can contact an attorney and get a legal answer in this regard.

Thanks

Hi werty,

You will have to use a quit claim deed in order to transfer the property to you. As there is a lien on the property, a quit claim deed will be a better option to get the property transferred. You can take the help of a lawyer in order to draft the quit claim deed.

Thanks
