Can property in the state of Texas be sold without a clear title?
Not real property such as a house or acreage. There is a process where a persson can sell a vehicle if the title is missing but not if there is a lien against said vehicle. If the issue involves liens or judgments they generally have to be "satisfied", which usually means paid in full before a sale is allowed.

No. That would only complicate the situation and result in more legal expenses that will be passed on to you eventually.
Can a property given in gift deed reclaimed by the grantor?
Real property transferred by deed cannot be "reclaimed" unless there were conditions mentioned in the deed that would trigger a reverter if not met and those conditions were not met. If the property was simply transferred to a new owner with no restrictions the former owner no longer has any interest in the property not any control over it.

Can one person sell a home but there are two other people on the deed?
When a property is co-owned by two or more people as tenants in common or joint tenants each owner can only sell their own interest in the property. They cannot transfer the interest of the other owners. If three people own a property and one wants to sell, that one can try to find a buyer for their share and that buyer will share the property with the other two owners. However, not a lot of buyers would want to share a property with strangers. Each joint owner has the right to the use and possession of the entire property.
A better solution when one joint owner wants to sell is for the other owner(s) to make them a fair offer and buy them out.
What is the difference between a perpetual lease and a sale deed?
A lease is the written agreement under which the property owner allows the tenant to use the property for a period of time in exchange for the payment of rent. A sale is an agreement in which property is transferred from a seller to a buyer for a fixed price.

Answer: In a Massachusetts divorce where the decree provides that W pay a dollar sum to H and H conveys his interest to W, if W pays and H refuses to sign a deed then the court decree can be recorded and the recording of it will convey his interest. You should have proof in your divorce file that you paid him. The payment should have been exchanged for the deed by your attorney.

How do you contact the owner of a abandoned house?
You can start by checking at the township offices or the county clerk's office and checking the platte books. Once you have the propterty number, you can request the name of the owner of record from the county clerk.

What are the three basic objectives of land registered under the torrens system?
The Torrens system of land registration provides an up to date government guarantee set forth in a certificate of registration that reflects the current status of land. A title examiner need only complete a search on the present owner and those encumbrances recited on the certificate of title. This is in contrast to recorded land whereby the title must be searched through multiple owners for a statutory time period of 40-50 years.
If you are on a deed but not the mortgage are you responsible for the mortgage?
I would wonder how the lender loaned money without the signature of all the owners. However, if the other joint owner granted a mortgage to a lender and hasn't paid the debt then the lender can foreclose on the interest of the borrower. They would then become the owner with you and may be able to force the sale of the property to get their money. That would be costly for the lender. Perhaps you could arrange a deal with the lender to rewrite the loan so you could pay it back.
When could women inherit property in the US?
There is no single answer to your question because property rights are generally governed by state law. To determine what property rights women had in early America you would need to do state by state research. Generally, in Colonial America, a woman's property was under the control of her husband or father.
Massachusetts was one of the first jurisdictions that passed law in 1787 allowing married women to own property under certain circumstances. Single women could inherit land. Once a single woman married, the land would come under the control of her husband.
Women were not given substantial property rights in all states until around 1900. You can start your research at the link provided below.
How can you find out if your name is on a house deed?
You can obtain a copy of your deed for a nominal sum from the land records office in your jurisdiction. Do an online search for "your county + land records" and you should find an official website with contact information. You may be able to obtain a copy online or by mail.
How do you negociate a judgment lien that is put against your property?
You can try contacting the creditor to determine if it will accept a lesser amount if the debt is paid off immediately. You need written proof of their agreement to settle and you need to obtain a valid release of the lien. The creditor may need to send the judgment lien back to the court with a notation the debt has been satisfied in full and then the court will issue a release. You cannot negotiate a real estate property tax lien. That must be paid in full by law. You may be able to negotiate a state or federal income tax lien.
Those negotiations are best handled by a skilled attorney who can act as an intermediary so that you have proof of the agreement and obtain a valid release to clear the title to the real estate.

The trustee must always look to the trust to determine what powers the trustee has in managing the trust property. All the powers of the trustee are set forth in the trust. If the power to mortgage the trust property is not included then a judge would need to make that possible. You should speak with an attorney who can review your situation and determine what your options are.
