It depends on the nature of the crime and the laws in any particular jurisdiction.

For example, consider a co-owner or heir who is found guilty of a murder that would result in their acquiring an interest in real estate. Generally, that felon would lose their interest in the real estate by the operation of law that would bar their benefitting from their crime.

  • In one case, a husband was found guilty of murdering his wife. They had no living children but had several grandchildren. A court order was recorded in the land records providing that the husband was forever barred from making a claim to the real estate and title was vested in the grandchildren.
  • In another case, a son was convicted of the murder of his mother. An order was filed in the probate of her estate barring that son from claiming an interest by inheritance. His siblings inherited the property free and clear of any interest he would have acquired as an heir at law.

Being convicted of a bank robbery may have no affect on property ownership.

You should consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate who can assess your situation and obtain the proper court orders to clear the title if necessary.

Your name is on the mortgage not on the deed. How do you get it off the mortgage?

It depends on why your name isn't on the deed. If it was a mistake, you need a lawyer to figure out the best way to get your name put onto a corrective deed. If your name is not on the deed because you obtained the property as a matter of law, then you may need to file a new deed to show you are the rightful owner, along with the papers that made you the rightful owner. Be sure to ask the lender what they were thinking when they accepted your promissory note and mortgage for a house that is not deeded to you.
