Deeds and Ownership

Yes. Many people consider it to be the most European city in North America.

The court considers such factors as the financial condition of the parties, their respective ability to acquire assets in the future, their future prospects for employment and whether there are minor children whose best interest would be to reside in their home.

The respective attorneys should try to negotiate a fair distribution of the marital property that can be submitted for approval. If one party is to convey their interest in the real estate the mortgage must be addressed since the bank is not subject to a divorce decree. If both parties signed the mortgage both are responsible for payment even if one party transfers their interest to the other. If one is to receive the property or if one is to be responsible for the mortgage then it should be refinanced in that person's name. The court may order that the real estate be sold and the proceeds divided.

The parties should both be represented by competent attorneys and not let the court decided on the distribution of assets.

Hate to tell you, but in WA, none. The senior lien has already foreclosed, any any junior lien (including deed of trust or mortgage) was foreclosed with it.

You have no right to your deceased partner's property unless you are the surviving spouse or unless he left a will with you as his beneficiary. Marriage creates a legal status that bestows hundreds of rights on the parties. If there is no marriage then legal documents such as wills and health proxies become extremely important as the only other way to acquire legal rights.

Generally, when two people choose to own their property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship the full ownership passes to the survivor when one dies . . . period. That operation of law can't be contested without a very good reason. You should direct your question to an attorney who can review the details and the reason you think you have a legitimate claim.

As soon as you have taken title to real property you can sell it. However, it is always a good idea to use the services of an attorney who specializes in real estate to make certain your transactions are handled properly and the documents are properly drafted. Errors made by non-professionals can be expensive to correct, if they can be corrected.

Yes. No right to offset exists.

You would show your debt to him as a liability and his debt to you as an asset.

As that asset may (or may not) be used by the court to pay that specific debt, offsetting would be giving preference to that creditor and is not allowed.

It depends on the state and his will, if he gives everything to you in his will, or at least the house, then you have no issue at all, but if there are children from a previous relationship and the husband has no will, you might have to buy them out or sell the place if they inherit under the state laws of intestacy. Check with your local laws and make sure you and your husband have wills.

"PTA" on a deed typically stands for "Property Transfer Agreement" or can also refer to "Property Tax Assessment." It indicates that the property has undergone a transfer of ownership and may include details relevant to tax assessments or specific agreements related to the property. Understanding the exact context of "PTA" in a deed can vary, so it’s important to consult local real estate laws or a legal expert for clarification.

The parties should consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law. The attorney can draft the appropriate instruments to divide the land and create reciprocal easement rights in perpetuity so that each owner's parcel will always have the right to use the road.

Errors made by non-professionals can and usually do result in title defects that can be costly to correct later, if they can be corrected.

When a creditor wins a judgment in court against a debtor, the court will issue a judgment lien that can be recorded in the land records against the debtor's real property. Once the lien is recorded the property cannot be refinanced or sold until the lien is paid. In the case of multiple liens, they get paid off in the order by which they were recorded. That is important when there is limited equity in the property. The senior lien gets paid first. Junior lienors are often out of luck. Therefore it is important to record a lien as soon as it is issued by the court.

There are other types of liens such as tax liens, mortgages, liens for municipal services and installation of equipment and betterment liens by towns for installation of betterments such as sewer lines, roads and sidewalks.

They may have been derived from the same tract before it was subdivided. Sometimes when that has happened they designate one 229A Riverdale Street and the other 229B Riverdale Street.

Generally, only an owner can transfer their interest in property. You cannot transfer someone else's interest, or, something you don't own.

On the other hand, if the co-owner has left and cannot be located or has never paid any of the mortgage then you could try to bring an action in court to extinguish their interest in the property. Only a court decree can transfer interest in property that cannot or will not be transferred by the owner.

No. You cannot sell real property belonging to someone else. You can only convey your own interest in the property. If the co-owner cannot be found you would need to commence some sort of court action to obtain a court order allowing the property to be sold. You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law. You may need to file a partition or some other type of equity suit for a court decree that will allow you to sell the property. The court will take possession of the missing co-owners portion of the proceeds.

Yes. The deed is the instrument by which title to real property is transferred to a new owner. The deed and the title are not separate.

The answer depends on the deed by which the two acquired their interest in the property. If the property was acquired as tenants by the entirety or as joint tenants with the right of survivorship, the survivor automatically owns the property. If the property was acquired as tenants in common, the interest of the decedent will pass to her heirs at law under the laws of intestacy and her estate must be probated providing she didn't name a beneficiary by will. If there was a will and a named beneficiary the estate must be probated for title to pass to the beneficiary.

This depends on whether the dealer just folded or if the business was bought out by someone.

You may try to contact ATF about those records.
