How long does it take to change ownership on property title deeds?

Did the prior owner get foreclosed or are the deeding it back to the bank in lieu of foreclosure?  I am assuming they got foreclosed.  If that's the case, a Sheriff's deed should be issued transferring title from the prior owner to the bank.  Usually this is taken care of by the foreclosure attorneys office.  I assume you have a Realtor, so have them start making phone calls.  This shouldn't take much time to clear up, but could take quite a while depending on how quickly the law firm gets on the ball.  Keep on them.

Depending on how busy your particular probate court is, I would say 6 months should be the max.  Unless they ran into a problem somewhere with a faulty deed or something like that.  Then it could be up to a year.\n\nCall them and ask about it.  You may be able to help them speed up the process.

You might want to use a quit claim deed.\n\nA quit claim deed is a type of deed where a grantor, a person who owns an interest in a property, transfers all his interests to someone else. However, the grantor offers no guarantees about the title to the recipient, who is called the grantee.\nA quit claim deed is often used to clear up problems with a title or when someone wants to use a simple method to give up all interests in a property.\n\nYou can find one for your state here:\n\nhttp://ppc.uslegalforms.com/enter6.cgi?&affiliate=go9deed57&document=/deed-of-trust.htm&engine=overture&keyword=quit+claim+deed&OVRAW=quit%20claim%20deed&OVKEY=quit%20claim%20deed&OVMTC=standard

Two issues. One is what the deeds say. The other is a concept called adverse possession.\n\nAdverse possession says that if you claim land for a long period of time (10-20 years), and actually use, then you get to keep it. It's more complicated than that in practice, but that's the idea.\n\nThe issue will get decided by a court. If you care about the seven feet, then you should consult with an attorney. She'll probably recommend filing what is called a "Quiet Title" action. That asks the court to settle any issues regarding property ownership.

Good question, as English common law does not apply.\n\nThe common law rule is you have to take possession of the land for 20 years without the owner complaining, and it's yours.

Assuming your speaking about Orange County, California I would guesstimate 1-6 months depending on your location, condition and of course price.

Unfortunately, there is no one answer to this problem. It depends on where you live and what type of security instrument the lender uses. There are two that are generally used, the mortgage and the trust deed. In a trust deed state, an non-judicial process is used. You never have the title to your home until your loan is paid off, just like with a car financed through a bank. The lender reports your delinquency to the Trustee, who holds the title to your house and the trustee puts the house up for sale. When someone buys it, he pays off the bank. It can be as quick as 90-120 days in a state like Texas.\n\nIf you live in a mortgage state, the lender has to go before a judge and get a judgement of foreclosure. Going through the whole court procedure is expensive and time consuming. I have seen mortgage foreclosures take two years in a state like New York, then they have to evict you!\n\nAt your early stage of delinquency, you have many options to save your home.

It is a foreclosed home and the bank now owns it and is trying to sell it. If you are looking to buy an REO (Real Estate Owned..A fancy word for The Bank Now Ownes It) be prepared for a bidding competition with other investors. Get as much information as you can about the property  as you can. REO's can take time depending on the bank. I have done REO's that have taken up to 2 months and others that were less than an month. It really depends on the bank and how many people are bidding on it. \nhttp://www.lendermark.com

That depends on where you live, and how far back in history you'd like to look.  Some municipalities have online real estate property records (through the County Auditor's website, in my area), but usually not going back more than 25 years or so.  \n\nYou'd probably have better luck going in person to your county recorder's office and asking to see the transfer records for your parcel.

Call the lawyer or the title company who recorded the deed originally. They should be able to help you.

you must have a survey on the part you wish to deed to them. Have that recorded in the court house. Then it will be given a leagal discription. If the land has any mortgage on it at this time you must get a partial release from the current lender. Once all of this is done you can quit claim the property or sell it to them. A title conpany can do all the paper work and filing for you. You have to get the survey yourself.

It's usually a painfull process for most people, but I believe the standard coveyancing guidelines suggest a non-complex sale should take around eight weeks from offer acceptance to completion. Things to look out for are whether the property is freehold or leasehold. If it's leasehold (common in London flats) you won't actually own the property. Your money is buying a lease for however many years remain. If there are less than 70 years left on the lease, it can start affecting the value. You have a right as a leaseholder to extend it though, or even buy the freehold if certain conditions are met, but both of these options can cost a bit. Also if it's leasehold, you'll have to pay a annual management charge and ground rent to the managing agent (this can be the owner of the freehold) to cover maintenance of the shared parts of the building. Solicitor charges vary by property value and the firm you choose to use, but a good solicitor is worth paying a little more for. Recommendation is a good way to find a good solicitor. Be prepared to chase, chase and chase again to keep the momentum going throughout the process as conveyancing solicitors are reknown for taking their time.

It requires somewhat more than just taking care of the property. What you are referring to is called adverse possession, which by Texas law, must be "an actual and visible appropriation of real property, commenced and continued under a claim of right that is inconsistent with and is hostile to the claim of another person." Further, the true owner of the land has a period of time from the commencement of that possession to file a claim, though the time period depends on the circumstances. I would contact a lawyer and see what your options are. If you built a fence around the land and kept it for long enough, it would be yours.

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