Hi MA,

I don't understand how the title wasn't changed to your mother's name although the estate did go through probate. Anyway, I don't think you need to use individual docs for each piece of property. Only one document would suffice. It's always good to get assistance from an experienced attorney in such cases to avoid any untoward dispute in future.

Post     Post subject: Transfer Property in another siblings name

My father who is now deceased transfer his dad's property in Galveston to my brother's name before he died in 2007. My brother have a wife who have been seperated for 5 years. If he sells the house, will my sister-in-law get part of the money for the house? My brother have 3 sisters will they recieve some of the money too?

Hi Unsure,

If the property is in your brother's name only, then he has every right to sell the property and the proceeds of the sale will go to him and nobody else, unless of course he chooses to give some portion of it to somebody.

Hi anonymous,

Transferring the title to your property to your son will not be difficult. You need to sign a quit claim deed as the grantor transferring your share, either in full or in part, to your son as the grantee or to both of you as grantees. Then, you need to get it notarized and recorded to validate it.

Thanks,

Jerry

Post     Post subject: what do we do?

My parents decided to include in the property deed. My mom is now deceased and my father wants to transfer the deed to his and my name only. What should we do?

Hi Rlinda,

Your father needs to sign a quitclaim deed to add you to the title of the property. He is required to sign the deed as the grantor transferring his share in the property to himself and you as the grantees. Then, the deed has to be notarized and rcorded to validate it.

Post     Post subject: Invalid transaction

My grandfather died in 1941 without a will. His wife and his five children from a previous marriage could not agree on ownership of home. Throughout the years only one son refused to move out, got married and had a family and continued to live there until his death. My grandfather's five children continued to disagree and refused to sign over ownership of home to this one brother that refused to move out. When he died, his wife deeded the property to her granddaughter. Then this granddaughter sold this property. How can they sell this property when they did not own it? The relatives of my grandfather were never notified. One of my cousin's notified me about this transaction and stated that this had to be an invalid sale, since his niece and mother did not own this property. How do we correct this transaction?

Hi Daisy,

Since his niece and mother were not on the title, they had no right to the property. They can never sell it, unless the title is in their name. Thus the sale is invalid. I think you should consult a lawyer who can tell you what actions could be taken against them to reverse such an invalid sale.

Hi john,

At times the deed and the survey might show different information. It actually happens because of the use of two different points of beginning while describing the same piece of real property. For instance, one may show so many feet from one corner of the street while another survey might take another corner of the street as a point of beginning and show so many feet from that point. However, as far as both the points are correct, both are valid.

Post     Post subject: transfer title

Hello,
My mother owns outright a piece of property. She will be retiring soon but is not in a position to build on the property. My husband and I have "gone in" with her in that we are willing to build and have her live there in perpetuity. We want the property in our name so that the taxes will be our responsibilty and mom won't have any problems. Will a warranty deed do this for us?

Hi

Either a warranty deed or a quitclaim deed can be used to change the title. She needs to sign the deed as grantor and you and your husband would be the grantees. Your mother can also quitclaim the property to you while retaining a life estate for herself which will give her the legal right to stay on the property as long as she survives.

Post     Post subject: warrenty deed

Hi All,
My father in law signed what was a warrenty deed without knowing what he was signing to his new wife which we have found out now does this as a living. Within2 weeks of marriage he realized this women was out to get him. This lady signed the deed with her middle name did not give him the money and put her address as her home address but as the property address although she claimed in court that they lived at her property. Is this legal.

Hi anonymous,

As your fahter signed the deed without the knowledge of what he was signing, the deed can be reversed in the court if you can prove that he signed the deed under false pretense. You should consult a lawyer as he is the best person to guide you in this regard.
