Can you sell a house without the deed?

If you owe money on a home you should hold title. A deed is the document that is publicly recorded. It signifies that you have an ownership interest in the real property described in the deed. It is not required that you have a deed, but it is not technically your house if you do not have a deed since you are not on title. It is not good to have a mortgage on a home that you don't own. Typically this can only occur if you sign a Quit Claim Deed that takes you off title. When you purchase a house it is the most critical part of the transaction since it is the document that actually transfers ownership.

How do you get property in your name after someone dies?

The decedent's estate must be probated in order for legal title to vest in the heir(s). Probate is part of the public records that affect real estate. You are not required to arrange for a deed in your name since the probate records will show that you are the owner by inheritance. However, if you want the property recorded in your name you should consult with the attorney who handled the estate. She/he can draft a deed properly for your jurisdiction and the deed should be recorded in the land records immediately.


Why do a quick claim deed if you already inherited the proprty after the owner dies?

You are not required to record a deed. If the estate was properly probated the probate process passed legal title to you and probate records are part of the public record of real property ownership. Some bankers who do not understand title theory will insist you record a deed before approving a new mortgage. Some people who inherit property want a deed in their own name. However, if a bank is not involved whether ot not to have a deed drafted and recorded is up to you. You do not need a deed. If a deed is required it should be drafted by an attorney.


What is a security deed?

A security deed is used as part of a mortgage type transaction. It is a conditional conveyance of the property to the lender while the debt is outstanding.

When the debt is paid the lender executes a reconveyance deed of the property back to the owner.


Your uncle died 11 years ago you are trying to get a deed transffered into your name how will you go about this?

Your uncle's estate must be probated in order for title to his property to pass to his heirs legally. Once his heirs have been established by the probate court his property will pass under the terms of his will or if there was no will, according to the state laws of intestacy. The probate procedure will determine who is the new owner of the property. The new owners must convey the property to you by deed.If you were the sole beneficiary of his estate then you are the legal owner of the property once the estate has been probated. The probate proceeding is a part of the public record and your ownership has been established there. You don't need to have a deed in your name but you can have one drafted by an attorney if you wish.Generally, the attorney will draft a deed from you, as the owner by inheritance, to a member of her staff as the grantee. That deed will recite how you acquired title by inheritance and is called a straw deed. The staff person will then sign another deed that conveys title to you. Both deeds must be recorded in the land records in the correct order and you will be the new owner of record.The transfer should be handled by an attorney.


My Father put me on a survivorship deed before he passed. The Will says to sell the house and divide the proceeds among his Children. How do I ensure I don't have to pay all the taxes?

If your father executed a survivorship deed prior to death, and it was properly recorded in the land records, the property does not become a part of his estate. As the survivor on the deed, his interest passed automatically to you.
