I'm thinking of filing a quick claim deed on my house. What does that mean exactly?

Do you mean a quit claim deed?  This is a deed that is used for several reasons.  Most commonly for repossessions, bankruptcies, or tax liens.  You can't file one yourself as you have no reason to do  it.

Unfortunately, your question isn't terribly clear. I mean, it's obvious that you want a quick run down, but you don't really hint as to what aspect. There is the legal side, the sales side, marketing, etc. Are you interested in how to become a realtor, or what a title examiner does, or just a quick guide on how to buy and sell?

yes. once you have the deed in your name it is yours

It will all depend on the local laws of the state. You mention your name is not on mortgage - but is your name on the house title deed?\n\nIf your name is on the deed, up to 50% of the house MAY be yours - and you may have claim to the other 50% - again depending on local law.\n\nIf your name is NOT on the title deed, then you may have claim - but the decision may have to be made by a judge.\n\nGood luck

Yep. Small claims. They will have to show up and they probably do not have the time so usually just the threat of court will be enough.  If they don't show, you win automatically.  I took my landlord to court and it was very satisfying to see him squirm in front of the judge.  That was worth more than the money he had to pay me!

The above response is not quite complete.  Basically the types of deeds are:\n\n1.  A deed where the seller does not promise that they own the property but they are transferring to the buyer whatever interest they "may" have in the property.  This is referred to as a Quit Claim Deed and is most often used in divorces.\n\n2.  A deed where the seller is selling the property to the buyer for the purchase price of $x.  This is referred to as a Bargain and Sale Deed.\n\n3.  A deed where the seller states that they own the property and they promise that their title is completely clear and no one else has any claim to the property.  This is referred to as a Warranty Deed.\n\nIn 20 years of practicing real estate law I have never seen a Warranty Deed used.  The form of deed that I have seen most often is a Bargain and Sale Deed with Covenant Against Grantor's Acts.  This is the same type of deed as number 2 above, with the addition of a promise by the seller that they have done nothing to encumber the property or give anyone any rights to it.  This type of deed, along with a title insurance policy, means that the buyer does not have to worry about anyone else having a claim to the property they are buying.

What they are doing is completely legal.  Who issued you a deed in 2002?  That is the person you must go to now to get the check endorsed.  Once this is done and the house repaired, I recommend that you either ask the lender to let you assume the current mortgage (not likely to happen) or refinance the mortgage in your own name.\n\nAnother option would be to retain an attorney and let them fix this for you.  The legal fee shouldn't be too high and it would be worth it to get things cleaned up and in your name.

You probably mean "right of abode" (note the B and the D). \nIt means the right to a place to stay, a home.

When you owe money, creditors get good at collecting. It my take a while, but they will come after it. Having said that, if mortgaging your house means you will have lower monthly payments to allow you the breathing room you currently need for your new business - it MAY make sense.\n\nUnderstand, lower monthly payments, just means lower payments, not lower overall cost. With a mortgage, the total dollar figure can be quite large - especially when you factor in fees.\n\nIf you can get an alternative loan, at a reasonable rate, consider that - it is a good idea to keep your business affairs separate from you personal.\n\nGood Luck!

A form generally accepted by all county recorders is a Quit-Claim Deed.  \n\nTypically you can find this at any good stationary store.  \n\nTo avoid a potential tax liability it may be in your best interest to indicate the transfer to be an "inter-family transfer with -0-consideration".

You can obtain the information at your local court house, fill out the Quick Clain Deed, and pay a small fee (normally 25.00) and file it at the court house....Easier to do, than a refinance...Unless he wants to go that route.  Or if he wants a a lower interest rate or cash out, debit consolidation.  A Quick Clain Deed takes your name off Title and deed, but your name is still on the mortage with his / your current lender....If you want your name off the Mortgage Company, that you would have to refinance....In case he ever defults on the mortgage.   But as I mentioned the Quick Claim Deed takes your name off title and deed . ..Good Luck.

Go to the county clerks office and look for any Lis Pendens filed against your property. Latin for 'a suit pending,'it's a written notice that a lawsuit has been filed which concerns the title to real property or some interest in that real property.This is the first legal document filed and it basically lets the owner know that litigation is pending.\nGood luck

There are three major instruments of concern here. \n\nThe instrument of title, which is the deed, \nThe instrument of debt, which is the Promissory Note\nand\nThe instrument of security, the Mortgage, tying the Note to the Deed. \n\nNow, if you're only on the Deed, there's not a lot to executing a QuitClaim Deed to your son. \n\nIf you are also on a Mortgage, that by itself doesn't really doesn't matter much, as the mortgage alone does not make it your personal obligation, so the Deed takes care of that as far as you are concerned.  You should list in the QCD "subject to the existing mortgage to X filed in book Y at page Z", although it's not strictly speaking necessary. \n\nHowever... if you signed the Promissory Note, signing a QuitClaim Deed will still leave you personally liable if the debt is not paid.  It is possible that they would release you from the Note, if the Loan to Value ratio is low enough, but there's no real reason they should.  \n\nIf they're not going to do that, you'd be unwise to give away your right to the secured property. \n\nThe way to get your name cleared from the debt is if your son re-finances, and then you'd be safe signing a QCD at the same time.

Often that means that they have to change their title deed to reflect the new mortgage company.  These records are often public records that you can request at your county recorder. They might even have an online system.  Our county does... personally I find it kind of scary what people could find out this way.

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.
