What is a Deed Transfer?

My Dad recently died in Sacramento California and I live in England. A couple of years before he died, my Dad put me on his bank account. His brother has informed me my father was in debt and the property he lived in my Father has released all the equity out of it. Apparently, my uncle has let the equity company have the house back, sold my Dad's car, and I don't know what has happened to the house contents. I have not received any paper work or documents or a death certificate concerning my Father's estate.

I own a co-op free and clear and only pay maintenance. I would like to transfer the co-op over to my son and daughter before I die. How do I go about doing this?

I'm living in a house which my mother has just bought with my money, but it is just in her name. I would like it to go in my name. Is that possible? Or do I have to pay off the whole mortgage first?

My sister had power of attorney for my father, He transferred his condo to her (it's paid for, free and clear). He passed away four months later. She put his finances and car in probate since she's the administrator of the estate.

My other sister and I thought she would put the condo in probate but she is not going to. Legally, does she have to put the condo in probate and split it or not?

My neighbor sold some property in 1964 and the new owner did not transfer the property so my neighbor has been paying taxes on the property so is the property still his?

I bought a house and because I was young, my mum helped me get a loan to buy the property. I have completely paid off the loan, but my mum won't sign the property into my name even though I paid for the house myself.

What can I do?

What type of deed transfers or mortgage papers do I need to do to 1) sell a home, owner financed and 2) allow them to have a deed so the taxes come to them and the insurance company will allow them to pay for the homeowners insurance. While they are making payments to me.

In other words, like a car, where you have a title so you could sell it but you don't have full control because you still owe money on it. What form of contract do I use for that?

I'm in foreclosure. I never had a mortgage,but got a piece of property from my mom. She never got a release from the mortgage co., and now she's in foreclosure. I have a warranty deed and have been paying taxes for four years. Can they do this to me?

We purchased a new flat in 2007 and in 2011 we sold it, but the buyer didn't pay the balance to us. In this matter, what do I need to do?

When a building is taken for redevelopment in that situation, how could I transfer my husband's name on the flat, which belongs in the name of his brother, meaning my brother-in-law?

Upon finding a $1,300 dollar discrepancy between what our mortgage company claimed they paid in property taxes and what the sheriff's office said was paid for our property, I looked over my contract and my deed has two addresses and an incomplete physical description. We went to the county assessors and it has us as buying a smaller property not even valued at half of what the one we are in is valued. Yet our survey is the correct address, but listed as belonging to someone else and the registered plat has a different name entirely.

We have a fha/hud insured loan which required a clear deed and all information be correct and clear before closing. What can I do to ensure the property I'm paying for is the property I thought I was buying and will actually belong to me once the mortgage is paid off? This feels very suspicious as if someone purposely committed fraud when papers were submitted to fha/hud and I'm wondering who is responsible since all my copies are in order yet don't match anything filed at the courthouse.

I got embroiled in a court case and costs were awarded against me. I have no assets. My wife and I had a house together but in 2006 I signed over the deed to her exclusively.

Could my wife be forced to sell the house she has now owned for some three years so that I will have funds to pay the costs which I owe?

If my wife's grandmother dies and she had no will, but with the agreement of the grandmother and the two children, can they transfer the house over to us and we just take over the payments?

To do a deed transfer, inherited land from parent is divided between 2 children equally so each are responsible for taxes etc. What would that fall under? Confused.

My wife and I recently signed loan papers and deed transfers within our family for a buyout and refinance.(Mass)

The fiduciary deed is not correct. There are wrong addresses and right of way language that we wanted removed but was not. How can we correct this?

I'm not sure if that 20% rule is a guideline or pertains to laws that may be in place in some counties in Florida but not applicable across the state. This is probably not a big concern, other than making sure you market the property as being only for persons over 55, assuming you do end up assuming full ownership of the property again. And I bet the condo association would be more than willing to be on the lookout for potential buyers that would fit into the community rules and regulations. After all, it is in their best interests to not have empty property standing.

Dear MDT, Thanks for answering. The condo didn't have a problem with the apartment transferring to me alone after my mom's death. I do remember them saying that I wouldn't be allowed to live there because of my age. They also strictly enforce the rule that "ALL residents must be over 55 y/o" something I thought was not permitted under Florida law. I thought that 20% of the residents could be younger than their 55 restriction.

Leesofl, it would seem that there would be no problem with you reassuming full ownership in the event of a default. Did the condo association have any problem with the deed being in your name only after your mother passed away? I suspect they would want to work with you in any way they could. Just to be sure, check the bylaws and regulations that the condo association has in place.

Anon15404 - the matter you describe may be impacted by laws that are peculiar to your state. In order to settle this matter and bring some peace to the family, I would suggest contacting a lawyer pronto.

My father had a will and each child was listed in the will with my brother as the executor. One sister who was listed in the will passed away. The will states that any descendants of someone who passed away will get their part of the sale of the estate. My sister passed away in 1998 and my father never had the will changed. He did have a transfer of deed drawn up in 1997 which had each of his children listed. My father passed away recently and my question is this. Does the transfer of deed over-ride the will? The transfer of deed does not state that descendants of deceased heirs will get their part. My other sister and brother are at odds over this and I would appreciate your input.

I am the sole owner of a condo in Ft Lauderdale FL. It was my mom's apartment and she passed away in Nov 07. I sold the apartment to my sister-in-law and did a full closing. I hold the mortgage on the property, and they pay me monthly.

It turns out they don't like living in south Florida, and are continuing to pay the monthly mortgage (to me) and the maintenance to the condo association. They are trying to sell the apartment, but in today's market that is going to be difficult.

PROBLEM: If at some point they say "we can't afford to pay you anymore, and want to give back the apartment" can I just have the deed transferred back to me as owner? I was on the deed when my mother died and therefore the apartment became mine. However, this is an over 55 community, and I am only 47.

A) Can the property revert back to me without having to do a full foreclosure?

B) Generally would a condo association allow this type of transfer is the new owner is under 55 y/o?

Seek legal aid immediately. There are a lot of factors that cannot be addressed in this forum, many of them having to do with local laws that would have jurisdiction. If you cannot afford to hire an attorney, check on resources in your community that help provide legal aid - many attorneys in many places donate time each week to help people who cannot afford to pay for their services. Wishing you the best.

Could you please explain what I am up against, and where I can turn for help?? the good one

Laws vary by jurisdiction, but generally, transfers of real property (i.e., land) must be in writing. To enforce a transfer of property, you must have a writing signed by the party you want to enforce the deed against. To get a correct assessment of your particular situation with consideration to nuances that you may not be considering, it's best that you get some legal advice from a property specialist in your jurisdiction.

What happens if a land owner does not sign the Warranty Deed paper?
