Deeds and Ownership

Assuming you mean you and the others are tenants in common, generally yes, each can sell his or her percentage without the consent of the others. That may change if there's an agreement of some kind that controls the situation such as an inheritance that was part of a trust arrangement to keep the mineral rights in the family.

That may refer to a 'corrective warranty deed'.

The deed would be declared invalid. It was obtained through fraud.

If it has taken legal possession of the property the answer is yes. The mortgagor would have been given notice of the sale by certified mail and by a publishing in the local newspaper. Many homeowners who are facing a foreclosure are so distressed they fail to open correspondence from the lender. However, that correspondence contains important information the lender is required to provide to the mortgagor. It should all be reviewed for details. If on the other hand the homeowner was not provided with notice of the impending sale according to state laws then the foreclosure may be defective. You would need to seek the advice of an attorney to make that determination.

In addition to the information provided above you, as the former owner, may have responsibility for issues NOT disclosed about the property during your time of ownership such as buildings or structures on the property without having proper authority or permits, chemical contamination, structural defects, dangerous conditions, etc. Some states require disclosure statements and professional inspections.

The mortgage obligation remains on the property. If the holder of the mortgage dies then her heirs own the mortgage.

Of course not. In order to "add" a name to a deed the owner must execute a deed that transfers their interest or a partial interest to another person. Only the owner of property can transfer any interest in it.

That means the land is transferred free of encumbrances or additional rights that inure to the property. However, encumbrances are not always mentioned in deeds. That is the reason why every purchaser should arrange to have the title examined to determine if any encumbrances were mentioned in prior deeds.

Yes. Every jurisdiction (state) has its own particular legal terms regarding deeds. Grant deeds are used in California and that type of deed warrantees that the property has not been sold to anyone else and that the seller has disclosed all the encumbrances.

You need to contact the easement department of the utility company that owns the easement and ask for a release. The utility must research the easement in their records which is sometimes a very complicated process. They may require a fee for the research and release. That fee can run in the hundreds of dollars. On the other hand they may refuse to release it at all even if it is not in use. Once they have property rights some utility companies don't let them go.

You should seek the advice of a real estate/estate planning attorney in your area who is familiar with the property laws in your state. There may be tax consequences. You should also discuss the consequences of a conveyance to your married daughter under the statutory provisions of your state.

Can you describe the property? Can you find it relative to something else, or locate it on a map?

If it's right beside your property or another property that you have the address of, find that address in Geodata; the parcels adjacent to the address you look up are labeled.

If it's not near yours or any address you can find but it is beside a road, go to a search engine like Google Maps that has street view and type in an intersection nearby. When you go to street view, turn and move your viewpoint until you are looking at the property you want to find the owner of. There should be an approximate address. Then contact your local Register of Deeds office. If you only have the approximate address, tell them you're not sure what property it is but you have an approximate. A lot of deeds come with little maps, and all of them will reference something that allows the property to be decisively determined, so if nothing else searching for properties near the approximate address may find you what you need.

If there's no street view available or no approximate address, and you're looking at a property in a city, then the street signs will have the block numbers on them -- or, ours do, and most of the street signs from other cities that I've seen do; I don't actually know that this holds true for cities I've not visited, and I know many county or non-government signs omit them. But if they have them, you can tell the Register of Deeds office's clerk that you're looking for a property in that block.

Other than that, I have no idea, but you could always ask your Register of Deeds office.

IF the POA document is "Durable", and it granted you the power to transfer your mother's real estate, and it was executed by your mother when she had legal capacity, then you may be able to make that transfer. However, you should seek the advice of an attorney to discuss your options. If the transfer isn't proper it won't vest title in you and your sister and that situation may be costly to correct when you try to sell the property at some future date.

she was considered an outsider because Ruth was from Moab, and had no property rights because she was a widow and did not have any children.

If his name is on the title he is still a part owner of the house. The way real estate is handled in bankruptcy is contingent on several factors. How the home is titled according to state statutes If the person(s) reside in a community property state. The amount of the homestead exemption. And the mortgage status, (if there is one), plays a large part also. The matter of separation is not relevant. If there were a divorce decree dividing the property, that might or might not play a part in the partitioning of the property.

No. Massachusetts is a separate property state. In a divorce the separate property may be considered in a division of property but the court would consider many factors before rendering a decision if the property ownership was a contested issue.

You need to sue the borrower in court. You need to satisfy the court that the funds were a loan and not a gift and that the funds were not paid back. The defendant will have the opportunity to answer the charges, usually by claiming first that the funds were a gift, and if the court determines there was a loan the defendant must provide proof that the loan was paid. Your copy of the cashier's check may provide compelling evidence that there was a loan in the first place. If you win, the court will issue a judgment lien that can be recorded in the land records. The property cannot be mortgaged or sold until the lien has been paid.

His daughters can petition the probate court to be appointed the administrators of his estate. Once appointed they will have control over all the property owned by their father at death. They should consult an attorney who specializes in probate who can review the situation and explain the options. If there was no will the property will be divided equally among all the children. If the brothers want to keep the house and business they must purchase the shares owned by their sisters. You should consult an attorney ASAP.

You have not provided enough information as to why the deed is fraudulent. If the deed was not executed by the legal owner of the property then the deed has no effect.

A conveyance fee is what is called a transfer tax. It can run anywhere from two percent up to four percent. Conveyance fee can run a variation of prices depending on the size of the house bought.

If she and her husband were both on the deed, it will be survivorship. If not, she will have a claim on the property.
