If you have no mortgage when buying house do you still pay closing costs?
If you are not getting a mortgage and purchasing a house as a "cash deal", you will still pay some closing costs, but none that are related to a mortgage or lender. You will pay for anything on the sales/purchase contract that you have agreed to pay for, which may include recording of documents, certain title-related fees, a survey of the property if you purchased one, and any buyer fees due to the attorney or title company that handles the closing.
If two people buy a house then one person refinances in only their name is the other still on the title or do they no longer have rights to the home?
In order to refinance even in one persons name, anyone else who is on title must be present at closing. You can't legally refinance a home unless all people on title are present at closing. In any case names on a loan do not directly reflect names on title, you can have one person on a loan and 5 people on title.
Can you claim closing cost of house on tax?
You add the closing costs to your basis.
Can you sell a house that has a second mortgage on it?
Absolutely, you can sell a house with a second mortgage on it. Keep in mind that you will have to provide clear title at time of closing and that the all mortgages (first and second) will need to be satisfied at closing which can be paid with the proceeds from the sale.
What is a letter of execution in a house closing?
Deed is a letter of execution in a house closing. The legal document that informs who owns the property is called title.
I'm getting ready to buy a house. What do I need to know How does title and escrow work?
Do your homework before you buy your first home. Learn what is entailed in "closing" on a home. You want to pay for a title search to ensure you are getting a clear title on the home with no liens, and escrow refers to an agreement for a third party to secure until conditions are met.

How long is a property lien for in New Mexico?
The lien stays with the property until it is paid. You cannot sell a car or a house, for instance, until the lien is paid and you have clear title. Usually the lien on a house is paid for at closing, either from the proceeds of the sale or money that you bring to the table.
You were sold a house with a clear title and come to find out the title was never clear due to a land dispute?
That is the reason the buyer should always have the title to the property examined by a professional before the transfer of ownership. It is also why one should buy an owner's title insurance policy. You should begin by contacting the attorney who represented you at your closing to determine if she/he can help you. They may be responsible for the error. It is difficult to say without a lot more detail. If notice of the dispute was on record there was a failure of your attorney to examine the title. If you acted with or without an attorney you may have grounds for a suit against the seller if they had notice of the dispute and didn't tell you. You need to contact either the attorney who represented you at the closing or a new attorney who specializes in real estate law in your area.

The final episode of the actual series is "Hello and Goodbye". But the finale to end it all was the movieLittle House: The Last Farewell.
What happens to the lien when you buy a house with a lien on it?
What do you mean? Did you purchase a home that has a lien on it? If so, you do not have a clear title to your home and the lien holder can take posession of your property. A lien should be paid off prior to completing a sale of a property. Good Luck
Does the owner of the property have to tell you if there is a utility easement on the property before you buy it if it runs the length of the back of the house and property?
It depends on the transaction. In most normal transactions the standard contract used by most Realtors will say something about clear title, a title commitment from the title company and other factors. If the buyer did not expect a clear title then it could be argued they received what they expected. The buyer should review the details of the title before signing the final documents to complete the sale. Any title insurance policy will show all easements and exceptions to a clear title. Full disclosure is best and expected but the fine details will really be based on the agreement signed by the buyer and the seller.
If you buy a house why would the sellers name still be on the title?
It would mean you didn't actually buy the house. The purchase of a house usually goes with the land beneath it (other than a condo), and this would be described in the deed (the title) that you received at "closing" when you paid for the house. Therefore, if you have the deed naming you as the grantor, then the seller's name is no longer on the title. If you didn't get a deed, then you don't own the house.
If you have no mortgage when buying house do you still pay closing costs?
If you are not getting a mortgage and purchasing a house as a "cash deal", you will still pay some closing costs, but none that are related to a mortgage or lender. You will pay for anything on the sales/purchase contract that you have agreed to pay for, which may include recording of documents, certain title-related fees, a survey of the property if you purchased one, and any buyer fees due to the attorney or title company that handles the closing.
