The issue of correctly transferring ownership can be vitally important, as real estate is often a person’s largest and most valuable asset. If you need to transfer ownership of real property from one person to another, you will need to use a deed to do so, but which one. That answer depends on what the reason for the transfer is, what the purposes of the transfer are, and who will have title to the property after the transfer.
Basically, a Escritura acts as the document that shows the transfer of a property from one person or party to another. Upon closing of a real estate transaction, the buyer of the property will offer the purchase price to the seller, who will then deliver a Deed to the buyer, who will then file the Deed with the recorder’s office or real estate office in the county where the property is located. In other cases where there is no true “sale” but title to property is transferred from one person to another without significant payment (for example, a mother or father transfers property to a child or other relative), also a Deed is used to transfer title and the Deed is filed with the appropriate recorder’s office. In either case, a fee will usually be required for the filing of the Deed and transfer of ownership.
In the Escritura, sellers must provide the legal description of the property; this description (which is NOT the address) legally identifies the property. It is CRUCIAL that this information be accurately stated in Scripture. The seller/grantor (ie, the person transferring title) must sign the Deed in the presence of two witnesses. Witnesses must sign and write their names. The buyer or assignee does not have to sign the Deed. The seller must also have the Deed notarized, which means that it must be signed in the presence of a notary or the seller must testify before the notary that his true and accurate signature appears on the Deed.
TYPES OF DEEDS:
Written guarantee
A warranty deed, by definition, is a deed conveying title to property in which the seller warrants that the title will be good and free of liens, except as stated in the deed, and agrees to defend and protect the buyer against any loss. that may arise in the future of any defects in the title at the time of transmission.
The warranty deed is the most common type of deed used to transfer property from one individual or business to another. Warranty deeds typically require a title search to be conducted to ensure the property is free of liens or encumbrances. Any discovered liens or encumbrances would effectively “cloud” title to the property and make collateral for the property risky or impossible.
This deed can be used to transfer property from a seller to a buyer in a variety of situations, most commonly when an individual or couple purchases a home from an owner and needs to transfer title; or when a family member wishes to name another person as joint owner of a home or parcel of property that he currently owns for himself.
deed of resignation
This type of Deed contains no “assurances” that the property is being transferred with good title or no liens except those recorded in the registry, nor does it create any joint tenancy or rights of survivorship. This deed tells the person accepting title to the real property that they will take whatever right or interest the seller or grantor has in the property, nothing more and nothing less. Often in real estate sales at arm’s length, a buyer should insist on a Warranty Deed rather than a Release Deed, as the buyer would want the protection of the warranties offered through such a release. of writing.
This quitclaim deed can be used to transfer property from a seller to a buyer in a variety of situations. For example, when a spouse or relative wants to transfer property to another of the spouse’s relatives, or name another person as joint owner of a home or parcel of property that he or she currently owns, a Quit Deed may be used. . Also, when property is transferred from a person to their trust, a quitclaim deed is often used. Also, this type of deed is often used to transfer property of divorcing spouses.
survival scriptures
This Deed is a Security Deed with “survivorship” rights created. This deed creates a joint tenancy (sometimes called a survivorship tenancy) between two or more grantees (again, the people who take title to the property), with each grantee typically owning an undivided interest in the entirety of the property. . Upon the death of one of the beneficiaries, his interest passes in equal parts to the surviving joint tenants; To accomplish this, an affidavit is usually filed with the county recorder’s office to evidence the transfer. Since the property is transferred to the other grantee, the deceased grantee’s prior interest in the property is not a probate asset, but is included in the estate for state estate tax purposes. When husband and wife have title to survivorship, divorce terminates the survivorship lease and creates a joint lease between the former spouses, unless the divorce decree specifically provides otherwise.
This deed is most commonly used when a person or couple purchases a home from one owner and each wants the features of joint ownership and survivorship, when a relative wants to name another person as joint owner of a home or parcel he or she owns. currently owned by yourself or by one spouse to both spouses. Again, the dealers or buyers who take title to this property also do so “survivorship,” which means that if one of the buyers dies, the other retains title to the property.
