Does owner financing and contract for deed mean the same thing?

When a home seller offers "owner financing", they are essentially offering to hold a mortgage note for the deed on the property. The mortgage note is the "contract". The contract pledges the deed to the buyer once they pay in full. Once the "contract" is paid off, then the deed is transferred to the buyer as the new owner.

How do you take your ex spouse off title insurance?

An Owner's Policy only covers the actual owner of the property. When the property is awarded to a party in divorce proceedings, that person remains "in title" (still on the deed) and the original Owner's Policy is still in effect covering that person since they were on the original deed as well when the property was obtained.The non-titled (person who was not awarded a continuing interest in the property by the divorce decree) automatically falls off the title policy since their interest is transferred off by the divorce proceedings and they no longer own the property.If you are looking to take the ex-spouse off an existing deed as the result of divorce proceedings, contact your real estate attorney and s/he can prepare the proper deed vesting the interest solely into the awarded spouse with the proper legal language referencing the divorce decree.

Does a sheriff deed override a deed of trust?

Your question is complicated and needs a lot more detail for a more concise answer. Generally: A sheriff's deed is the result of a judgment lien. It indicates the land was actually siezed. It can create a cloud on the title to real estate even when recorded after the property has been conveyed if the conveyance was to avoid creditors. If it relates to a debt that was recorded prior to a mortgage in a state that uses deeds of trust for mortgages then it may override the deed of trust. If this refers to a conveyance deed to a trust and the trust was not drafted properly the real estate would be left exposed to creditors. If the debt predates the deed to the trust the sheriff's deed may override it. You may need to pay off the lien to remove the cloud on the title. You should have the situation reviewed by an attorney who specializes in real estate law. If the siezure was "good" the interest on the debt adds up quickly causing the pay back amount to grow. In Massachusetts the interest allowed is 12 percent.
