Texas Lawyer Practice Areas: Real Estate

Texas real estate lawyer, frequently asked questions:

I inherited a parcel of property. How do I put the house in my name?

The first step is to determine who is the titled owner of the property right now. Once you have determined who is listed, the second step is to determine who are the rightful owners of the property. If the person who owned the property dies, then the person's will controls. If there was no will, then the Texas decedent and distribution laws would apply. Depending on the condition of the estate, there are several mechanisms to transfer ownership of the property and place title in the appropriate party's name. Our lawyers have substantial experience in real estate title issues and we can assist you with the transfer of ownership. Please click here to email our firm, or call us at 214.696.0021.

How do I put another person on the title to my house?

To add another person to the title of your house, you first need to obtain written permission from any finance company that has an interetst in your house. After that, you can transfer ownership interest by using one of many types of deeds. A deed is a recorded instrument that contains information about a parcel of property, and information about the owners and transferences. The type of deed you should use depends on many factors. Our law firm has been helping people transfer property for years. Please click here to email our firm, or call us at 214.696.0021. (Please be sure to read our disclaimer before emailing us.)

Me and my significant other broke up after buying a house together. How do I take this person off the title to my house?
This is often a case where a significant other decides to move out after the couple has purchased the house. If the house is financed in both names, then the person keeping the house will need to refinance the home in order to take the other person off the mortgage. This is typically accomplished with a settlement agreement and deed. Our law firm has substantial experience with transfers such as this.
