Post subject: Warranty deed |

|
| I was gifted a warranty deed for a house. Come to find out the house was deeded to someone else. They were contacted not to have any rights or ownership by the owner of the property just like I was but earlier. I am trying to sell the house however the title company says they have to sign over the deed to myself. How can I do this without giving part of the sell monies to the old warranty deed owner how has not paid taxes or help with repairs for since the house was deed to me in 1995. I have been paying taxes maintaining the property, and replace the water well. what would suggest I do next? |

| OK....so the situation is my husband's 91 year old grandfather has willed my husband the house he lives in upon his death. Since the will was written he has fallen and is in ill health. It is looking like he may have to be moved to an assisted living center. The great uncle has advised us to make all the changes necessary before we move him. He said we need to buy the house and have the deed changed so the state can not come after the house. He said we can buy the house for $100, it doesn't matter, we just need to show the house was purchased. Is this true? How do we protect the property from being seized by the state for payment? Please help. |

Hi!
Welcome to forums!
To dfa,
You should immediately contact a real estate attorney and take his opinion in this matter. He will check the deed and let you know what steps you need to take in this matter.
To fs,
A ladybird deed from your husband's old grandfather will help you in protecting the property. You should contact your real estate attorney and he will assist you further in this matter.

| My father is dying from a disease and cannot write or speak. His current wife and my step mother somehow got an attorney to notarize the warranty deed, which conveys the property to her after my fathers death. The form just includes an X on the signature line. The family knows for a fact that my father did not want his wife to have the property. She is not aware that the family knows she filed the deed. To me the form would be valid if she got my father to agree to signing the deed when he could speak and still write. She waited for him to be completely disabled and then got the attorney to notarize. Also, she only lets his kids visit for 20 mins. and then we have to leave. As his children, would we be able to file a second warranty deed with the county as long as we provide video as additional proof that the children are entitled to the home? |

Hi Guest,
If the property is in the name of your step mother, then you and your other siblings won't be able to file another warranty deed without her signatures. You should contact a real estate attorney and take his opinion in this matter. If you can prove that your step-mother took illegal steps to transfer the property in her name, then you will be able to get back the property.
Thanks |

Hi Sandra!
Welcome to forums!
You will have to contact the county recorder's office in order to file the general warranty deed.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

A deed must be signed, notarized and delivered to the grantee. On the date all three of those are completed, the deed is valid.
