Will grantor lose rights on property after quit claim?

Posted on: 22nd Apr, 2006 06:19 pm
Can I lose the rights to my property after sign a Quit Claim? The grantee can sell the house without my concern, without my authorization?
Hi,

Welcome to the forums.

It depends as to whether you are transferring your entire property to someone or just adding some to the title.

In the first case, you will lose all your rights on the property after signing over a quit claim deed. And, in the second case, you will be transferring an interest in your property to the other person while both of your names will be on the title. There will be difference in the shares of interest owned by both of you.

If you have added someone to the title, the co-owner can stay in the property but he cannot sell it without your consent. But if you have transferred or will transfer your entire property to the other person, then he can sell it.

Please go through our section on quit claim deed for further details.

Thanks,

Caron.

Is there a way that someone can legally transfer both the property interest and title over to another without paying off. Does the home has to be paid off? A quit claim deed is not an option.

Thanks,

Hi,

Any property transfer with a mortgage pending on it has to be informed to the lender as any change in the title ownership makes the mortgage due immediately.

You mentioned that quit claim deed is not option but I think it is a good option to have a quit claim deed under this condition.

Through a quit claim deed, the ownership rights are transferred without guarantees. It can done while selling or making a gift.

Feel free to ask if you have more queries.

Hi Veronica,

In this situation, you can a transfer the property through an assignment. An assignment is the transfer of a property title under an agreement.

When the transfer is done, through an assignment all the accessories belonging to it, like a lien on the property, will pass with the assignment. The deed through which an agreement can be done is also called an assignment.

But it is best to consult a real estate attorney for a proper advice and guidance in real estate transfers.

Hi,

If you do a title search then you will be able to know if any liens are present on the property.

Thanks

Do go through this page on title search for more information about what the title search might reveal.

Hi Guest,

If the deed says "from mother to son", then the property should go to your brother. But you mentioned that it was deed over to you. Can you please explain to whom exactly was the deed signed over?

I hope to give you a better answer if you can be little more clear about what you have said.

Thanks,

Caron.

I am planning on buying a piece of property. What is the best way to go about it where the previous owner doe not have to pay taxes on capital gain?
Posted on: 27th Dec, 2006 06:59 pm
Hi Guest,

Welcome back.

If the property sold is valued within $250,000, the seller can get an exemption from capital gains taxes.

In case, he is married, he can qualify for an exemption on the home value worth $500,000. But the home should have been the seller's principal residence for 2 years out of the 5 years prior to sale of the home.

Hope this information will help you. Feel free to post further queries.

God bless you.

If a parent quit claims deeds thier house to their 2 children, how does that effect the mortgage and taxes....when there is still a mortgage remaining and the parent is still living in the house

Do you have a life estate on the property?

Hi Guest,

Welcome to the forums.

The parents will still have their names on the mortgage but the title will pass on to the children. The children need not pay for the loan.

However, if the parents are in default then the children will have to pay off the loan to save the property rather than the lender claiming it to recover the amount he has invested.

Regarding the taxes, the owners of the property will be paying for property taxes. So, even if the parents stay on the property, the children will have to pay the property tax as then they will be the owners.

Thanks,

Hi Lisa,

Welcome to Mortgagefit discussion board.

If the quit claim deed was properly recorded with the county recorder's office then it is ok to sell the house now. Quit claim is a valid legal document if it is made out correctly.

Your boyfriend won't have to do anything else regarding giving back the property to his ex.

Thanks
