The owner needs to go to the register of deeds and request the new name be added in addition to theirs, you should not have to refinance at all. We live in Wisconsin, and just did it without refinancing at all.

I would think that most forms can be found either at the courthouse or at the library, but I have included a link in the sources which looks like it has good information.\n\nGood luck with the new name.

The only way that someone can be added to the title of your property is if you sign a deed.  There is no way that your spouse can refinance the mortgage on your property unless you sign a deed adding him as an owner or if you sign the mortgage documents.

Check the value of the house by getting an appraisal or check various comps in the area.  Then, agree on a price and record a Grant Deed at your county recorder's office.

You can add someone to the deed by doing a quit claim deed.  It is not uncommon to have someone on the deed who is not on the note.

Ask any realtor.  This information is readily available to them.  The title or deed for the house lists all of the previous owners, what improvements were made (such as when structures on the land were built), and dated records of how much it was sold for.  I believe there is a way to obtain this information from your county's courthouse as well.

Each state has an office with a name that is something along the lines of "commissioner of land"...contact that office.  They can put you on a mailing list to receive notices when they are about to have the auctions.\n\nAnother thing you can do is look for pending forclosures in the newspaper.  They have to post it in the newspaper before they forclose.  If it is an old mortgage, call the homeowner and offer to take the note.  They can sign the house over to you and you can either assume the note or refinance to get it into your name and current.  This method was pretty much how I got my house, and the 27 thousand dollars equity that came with it.

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.

Are you in an established relationship with this "friend"?  Are you living in the home with your "friend"?  Do you have the money to pay a real estate attorney to sort this mess out (assuming it can be) if things go sour with your "friend"?\n\nIf you really want joint ownership, refinance under both your names and have your name added to the Deed.

A deed is a public record and should be able to get the deed through the County Deed Clerk or they will point you in the right direction.

1) Go to your nearest (Michigan) licensed real estate agent and buy one for $5 (what ever) from him.  Make Xerox copies for 15 cents (what ever) each\n2) Same source for seller addendums.

Call a title Company, they keep these list in their data base. If you are not a real estate agent or in the business they may make you pay for the info.

If the home is owned out right by your parents and they do not owe any money on the property, you can have your name added, but if they still owe then the mtg comp will have to pull your credit as if you were purchasing they home.\n\nOnce your name is on the home, you become 1/3 owner and cannot refinance without all parties involved.  Sorry! Best of Luck

Try going to your local lawschool/lawlibrary.  They may have forms for pro se (do it yourself) patrons.  Sounds like a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship.\n\nOf course, if you want to be on the safe side - you should get an attorney to handle it.  The cost may outweigh the potential problems that can pop up if the deed is improperly executed.

Quick answer is to purchase one from a professional title examiner.\n\nIf you insist on doing it yourself,  go to wherever deeds are recorded in your locality:  the courthouse or the county building.  Then you search the name of the present owner to find what mortgages, liens he has.  You find the name of the person that granted him the house, and search that name, and so on and so forth until you get to the original owner.  Most states have a marketable title act that provides that any deed 20 years old that has not been challenged can no longer be challeged - so you dont have to search any further back than that.  Pre-computers - they used to write every transaction down in a huge book alpabetically.  So you would turn to "J" for Johnson for each year and look for any transactions.  That is why things are usually indexed by book and page.
