Deeds and Ownership

The only way to change a deed is to execute a new one. If the owners are now married they should have a new deed drafted by an attorney that creates a tenancy by the entirety.

Two people who are not married must be very careful about how the property is titled in the deed. If they want the property to automatically pass to the other if one dies then the property should be taken as joint tenants with right of survivorship. If Robert and Erin owned as JTWRS and Robert died then Erin would be the sole owner. That scheme of ownership could not be changed by a will.

If they do not want the other to become the sole owner if one dies then they should take the property as tenants in common. If Robert and Erin were tenants in common and Robert died then Robert's heirs at law would inherit his half or he could leave it to someone in his will.

You need to decide what should happen to the property if one should die and then have that reflected in the deed.

The deed may state the conditions upon which the easement can be used or improved, or you may have local statutes or case laws that will give a specific answer. Otherwise, you may need to simply have an agreement with the owner of the easement.

Unless there was a different scheme set forth in the deed such as a 60/40 split in interest, each co-owner is legally entitled to one-half the net value of the property. If one wants to buy the other out and the couple can negotiate a fair price, the one who paid the down payment should get credit for it. The couple needs to settle this fairly between them. If they can't then they should go through a mediator.

It depends on the lien, the easement, and the owner's intent for the property. Typically, a lien doesn't impede the owner's enjoyment of property rights unless and until the owner wishes to sell. At the point, either the lien must be satisfied by the seller or the property must be sold subject to the lien; in either case, the net monetary return to the seller will be diminished by the amount of the lien. By contrast, an easement essentially allows another entity the right to restrict the owner's use of the portion of the property covered by the easement. If the landowner sells, the land property is sold subject to the easement and the new owner continues to be subject to the easement rights.

In the state I live in you do not have to purchase a license to perfect a quitclaim deed. It must be registered with the county Registrar of Deeds just as any other deed must be registered. A quitclaim deed conveys ownership only to the extent of the granter's ownership interest in the subject property (which could be none).

Any purchase of real estate should be supervised by an attorney who specializes in real estate law.

Yes in many cases they are the owner of the property which they are selling.

In some states, all property belongs jointly to the couple, regardless of whose name it is in. In those states, the property passes to the surviving spouse when one dies. However, in other states there may be other factors including whether the property was acquired before marriage or during the marriage. It is important to consult with an attorney in order to be sure about the relevant rules.

Unless your condominium has restrictions and reservations that would preclude your daughter from being a qualified owner, you can transfer the deed to her name.

However, for example, if your condominium is in an over-55 community, and a qualification is that the owner be older than 55 years in age, and your daughter is not yet 55 years old, then she may be precluded from holding title to the condominium.

You can find the answer you want -- as to the associations restrictions and reservations -- in your governing documents.

Any deed that conveys property should be recorded in the land records. The recording of the deed establishes the property rights against the world.

A Torrens Certificate is issued in land registration systems of land ownership. In a land registration system the history of any encumbrances on the property and the present title holder are both recited on the Certificate of Title. The record is guaranteed to be accurate by the government. A person who is examining the title need look no further than the present owner's Certificate of Title.

Land registration systems, or Torrens systems, are different than a recorded land system where deeds and encumbrances are recorded in deed books in chronological order as they are recorded. A title examination requires that a title examiner do research back through the various ownerships, looking up each owner in the grantor/grantee index, to determine if any encumbrances were created that still affect the property.

A land registration system is more expensive than a recorded land system with higher fees charged for recorded documents.

When a deed says, "For life with remainder to..." it is describing a life estate. That means the grantor is either granting or reserving a life estate in the property for one person(s), i.e., the right to the use and possession of the property for life, and when they die another person(s) will own the property in fee free and clear of the life estate. That second interest is called the remainder interest. The remainders own the fee in the property during the life estate but cannot take possession of the property until the life tenant has died or released their interest in the property.

A life estate can also be set forth in a will. Suppose a man's first wife died, the ownership of their home automatically passed to him and they have two sons. He married a widow with two daughters. He made arrangements in his will that his second wife would have the right to live in the home for the duration of her natural life and upon her death the property would pass to his sons free and clear of the life estate. The sons would be the owners of the remainder interest in fee.
