Different laws for different states.

it's generally not a good idea. supposed after you both are on the title, and someday someone suits your girlfriend and you might be forced to sell the house.\n\nbut that's just a side note. to add your girlfriend's name to title, you can simply write a new deed, notarize it, and send it with a check (usually less than $15) to the county recorder's office to have the new deed recorded. the process is very straightforward and you do NOT need a lawyer. you can call the county recorder's office for detailed instruction and fee info first.\n\nthere might be tax implication as your girlfriend receives half of the house.

Basically, any property that either spouse owns prior to the marriage becomes marital property upon marriage—-regardless of whose name in on the title.  The divorce court will equally divide all marital property before issuing a divorce order.  \n\nGenerally, the way to exclude a house from marital property is with a prenuptial agreement where the spouses specifically agree to exclude certain property from marital property.  Or if a spouse is able to prove that the property was completely separate from the marital home and no marital funds were used to maintain this separate property (this includes mortgage payments, taxes, utilities bills, maintenance).  Basically, even if Husband lived in the house and never paid any bills, he is-—generally-—entitled to half the equity of that house.\n\nThis is a very basic rule which may not be true in your state.  (But most likely this is the law in your state because you are looking for one exceptional case, instead of many cases).  So, I advise you to talk to a family lawyer licensed in your state.   You and your lawyer can devise an exit strategy.  You may have other bargaining chips, such as his retirement or pension, to negotiate for what you want.  Just because he wants half of your house, does not necessarily mean he will get it.  \n\nIf you really want to find that Morris Marsden case, try www.lexisone.com, www.findlaw.com, or www.lawguru.com .  Also visit your state-court’s website; some courts publish and archive their opinions on their website.\n\n\nGood luck.\n\nSharmil McKee, Esq.\nPhiladelphia, Pa\nhttp://www.mckeelegal.com

A "grant deed" is the common form for this. There may tax implications by changing title. Consult a Real Estate Lawyer.

If you inherited it by will or because you were on the deed, you can. Otherwise, you can't. If you believe you are entitled to the land for some reason, you will have to bring a "quiet title" action in court.

You'll need more than a "form letter". If you want to sell without a real estate agent, you should still hire a real estate attorney to handle all the legal documents.

didyousearch was correct but I wouldn't advise you filling it out yourself. You need to speak to a Title Agent or real estate attorney. There are specific clauses the need to be on the deed to convey it properly for example marrital status and or a homestead clause. There are others that could possibly be needed as well.

This is a practice known as "squatting." The laws vary from state to state and nation to nation. I've heard of a few places that allow you to acquire the title to the property after a predetermined amount of years but you need to check that out with your local laws.

It really depends where you are. In California its a community property state, so even if they are not on title, half of it is still theirs. \n\nThere are ways of taking them off. You can deed off your spouse even if they are not on title with a quitclaim deed. This will make it so you are the sole owner. \n\nIf you want to put them on. There are different ways of holding title. Joint tenant, tenants in common, community property. Joint tenants is where once the other tenant dies, the property is split between the remaining title holders. Tenants in common is just people holding title in any percentage. Community property is 50/50 with your spouse. You should take to a title office about this.

I don't know the section of the law, but last year I had to sign some legal papers pertaining to the sale of a house.  With my faxed signature, the process could proceed, but I had to mail the original to the attorney for it to be completely legal.  \n\nA real estate broker said that deals are done that way all the time.

Ideally, your name is in the vesting of title.  ie owner one and owner 2 as joint tenents with right of survivorship.  If you were not on title, you need to prove that your were effectively a joint tenent.  This is easy if you were married, or common lay wed.  If you were not, your state specific laws come into play.  You can look on youyr states Dept of Real Estate Website, wihich is typically linked to the states official site.  At the very least they will have a number you can call for more information.  Good Luck.

The house was in both parents names when she died she had no claim over it so he had full ownership - had she made a will and stated that her half go to her children then he couldn't have sold it without their say so.\n\nhe would have had to give the children half if the will was changed and you wanted it to be sold.

Usually it's as simple as having your ex "quit-claim" the house into your name.  Your attorney should be able to help you with that. \n\nOnce that's done, if you have a joint mortgage on the house, you'll probably need to refinance the loan into just your name to get his name off the loan.  Again, this is something your attorney should tell you.

It depends.  Do you have a Specific Power of Attorney (valid only for the sale of the house) or a General Power of Attorney  (which allows you to act as if you are him)?\n\nIf you have a General Power of Attorney, you are free to dispose of his assets.  If you do no, you cannot.\n\nAre you his legal guardian?  If so depending on the guardianship rules in your state, you MAY be able to dispose of his assets.\n\nYour best bet would be to see an attorney in your area, with a specialty in family law.  Please turn off your Caps Lock.\n\nGood luck.

I think it may depend on what state you live in and if kids are in the picture.My ex just took a few things and she was gone,which was her choice.I had to refiance in my name only and she had to sign off.Sometimes whoever wants the house may have to buy the other halves part from them.I guess all in all.... depends on your states laws...

You create a contract for deed, and she pays you like any other bank, you pay your mortgage.\n\nMost mortgages have a "due on sale" clause, which means that if they find out you have sold your home, they can call the mortgage due.  So be careful.  If it's paid on time, may not be a problem.  If you don't record your contract, they may not find out.  But it is a potential risk.\n\nYou should contact a real estate attorney to advise you and handle the documents and the sale.  Gather up your mortgage documents from when you did your last closing and bring them to the attorney.
