Thank you ! My bf & and I are both on the home deed. He moved out a year ago and is letting me keep the house without buying his half. He has agreed to sign the quit deed but I know he won’t pay the transfer tax and I can’t afford that right now. So I can still get his signature at a notary and just keep it for now ! Yay 😊

Yes I would get the deed for sure but keep in mind that if he is involved in a lawsuit, if your deed is not recorded his personal creditor could lien the property. How much are the property taxes?

Hi Clint, I have found your videos invaluable and have employed some of your RE strategies. I have come across one unexpected issue (more than once) as I strive to maintain anonymity and asset protection. When setting up a WY LLC (holding company to provide the anonymity discussed and charging order protection) which then in turn owns LLC’s formed in the state where the property is purchased the issue is when a lender records a mortgage. We lose the anonymity we have strived so hard to maintain. The mortgage docs require the owner of the LLC to sign the loan with their full legal name not the LLC name therefore revealing the name of the owner. While this might be difficult info to find for some it does become public record and if someone knows where to look it can easily disclose true ownership. When buying properties for cash without financing the above was not an issue. Once financing for a purchase or cash out refi comes into play the mortgage being recorded becomes an issue from an anonymity standpoint. Is there any way around this? Thx

[@rcruz401]

You simply put it in a Landtrust first and then assign beneficial interest to the LLC.

[@arthuraaron180]

Putting aside the additional cost of preparing and maintaining the trust the real issue is that many lenders will not lend to a land trust.

[@rcruz401]

@@arthuraaron180 But if it's anonymity you want with a property incummbered by debt as a Mortgage, then the best strategy is to put into a Landtrust and then assign it in the state specific LLC and have it owned by a Wyoming Holding LLC. I'm sure you can still refi showing proof of full ownership with operators agreement.

6:10 Prior to all this, (step 1) the husband and wife initially transfer title to the Land Trust. Then, (step 2) an Assignment of Beneficial Interest form gets filled out by the Trust beneficiary to transfer to the LLC. Is there a form needed accepting the transfer for either step 1 or step 2?

In Illinois - I heard it from ALL attorneys I ever talked to - the date of transfer is the date of recording, for the purpose of "fraudulent transaction" determination. For example, my friend no longer owns a property (plus new owner didn't record the deed), and the new owner just recently called her saying "legally you still own this property, because I cannot remove the liens even if I show a notarized proof of transfer/deed from 5 years ago"

[@ClintCoons]

Incorrect. I hat to say it but you should find better counsel. This is law 101. You can look at (765 ILCS 5/) Illinois Conveyances Act - here is a link: www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=2137&ChapterID=62 Here is the important text: "Every deed in substance in the form described in this Section, when otherwise duly executed, shall be deemed and held a good and sufficient conveyance, release and quit claim to the grantee, his heirs and assigns, in fee of all the then existing legal or equitable rights of the grantor, in the premises therein described, but shall not extend to after acquired title unless words are added expressing such intention" You will note the act does not include any language regarding recording to make a transfer.

My understanding is when changing to an LLC, for the purpose of asset protection, you must be sure to also change the homeowner’s insurance to the LLC name. A notice will be sent from the Insurance company to the Mortgage company Notifying them of the change. This may trigger the due on sale clause. Is this correct, and is this a concern?

What happens when a surveyor fails to do a deed search before the sale of a property and includes a portion of land that you hold the deed to in the buyers title. Now buyer is suing for ownership of the land that you still have the deed to because the surveyor put the discription on the buyers title. The buyer never recorded a deed for the portion of land that i have the deed to and the owner i got the deed from says the disputed land was never supposed be placed on the buyers title. Because the surveyor assumed that the deed holder included the disputed land in the sale without ever doing a deed search does that stand as legal? Does the deed holder have precedence over the title holder

I would assume the deed holder only receives what is on the deed. If there was a mistake then the title company is responsible to the buyer to make up the difference.

Clint, after my LLC records the deed, do I have to immediately look for a tenant to live in the house or at least move-out. The creditor's argument could be that this property is for your personal residency and not business-related.

[@ClintCoons]

If the property is not a rental then the LLC lacks a business purpose and the creditor can move the court to ignore the entity form. I would not place my personal residence in an LLC because it could weaken my other LLCs that hold my rentals with the argument being I set up LLCs for asset protection and they lack any business purpose.

[@joshuagenes]

Seems like getting a notary to record the pocket transfer might be good to avoid the fraud claim later when you make the legal county record/transfer after the lawsuit.

Remember the recording is not the transfer it is the signing of the deed. Yes a fraud claim might be made but if the deed was signed before the lawsuit and the LLC accepted the property you have a strong defense.

I have a few questions for you to answer from your experience and expertise for the following: 1. If you own a paid off property, but you didn’t pay your taxes for 1-2years, and transferred the property deed title to someone you knew or close to you. He/she took care of the property taxes and whatever the interest and fees the city and county fines when the new owner sell the property, can you still get some money back? 2. As soon as the property deed title was transferred, does the grantee has his/her rights to put this property for a refinance right away? 3. Because this property was paid off and there was no balance owed at the bank or anywhere with anyone except the city and county taxes with the interest and fees. If you don’t get anything back from it, can you sue the grantee in court with the money from selling the property? I would appreciate if you could give me some advice or knowledge. Thank you!

Brother 1 convinces the parent to do a pocket deed giving brother 1 their home in order to keep brothers 2 & 3 from inheriting anything even though the parents have a will splitting their estate equally among the brothers. Brother 1 did this by convincing parents that this pocket deed is for the parents benefit to keep "people from taking advantage if them" in the event one of them dies. Parents trust Brother 1 and assume he is doing the right thing. Once they realize he has fooled them, they ask for the original and he refuses. Is there a way to nullify this?

Why is the recording fee 10k? Of course this amount varies widely per state but 10k seems a little extreme?

[@ClintCoons]

I was referring to Pennsylvania and it is a transfer tax that is paid when property is recorded into an LLC.

Isn't there a lot of risk that these kinds of unrecorded transfers might be viewed poorly by the courts? Just seems like obvious bs if you are wearing two hats (especially if these DIYers don't honor the corporate form of the grantee). Especially if the decision to transfer happens shortly before or after incurring a debt, or if seeking to avoid the effect of a judgment lien: how would you get the title company to see the unrecorded grantee's side?

[@ClintCoons]

You bring up great points that is why you must make the transfer before the harm occurs and you must run it properly I.e., collect rent in the LLCs, have the lease through the LLC, pay bills from the LLC etc. Remember the law does not require recording of a deed to make the transfer valid.

Illinois attorney says deed must be recorded in illinois

[@ClintCoons]

@@jnca911 I guess law schools just aren't what they used to be. Here is the statute - you will not find "recording" as an element to transfer title. (765 ILCS 5/1) (from Ch. 30, par. 1) Sec. 1. Livery of seizin shall in no case be necessary for the conveyance of real property; but every deed, mortgage or other conveyance in writing, not procured by duress, and signed by the party making the same, the maker or makers being of full age and sound mind, shall be sufficient, without livery of seizin, for the giving, granting, selling, mortgaging, leasing or otherwise conveying or transferring any lands, tenements or hereditaments in this state, so as, to all intents and purposes, absolutely and fully to vest in every donee, grantee, bargainee, mortgagee, lessee or purchaser, all such estate or estates as shall be specified in any such deed, mortgage, lease or other conveyance. Nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to divest or defeat the older or better estate or right of any person or persons, not party to any such deed, mortgage, lease, or other conveyance. (Source: P.A. 80-660.). You can also read more here: www.atgf.com/tools-publications/pubs/deed-elements-and-recording-requirements

Brilliant ideas

[@ClintCoons]

thanks

[@rinihaque2946]

can u pls give me a example how how a revocable living trust deed should look like example trustor name A and trustee B? with legal descriptions xyz

[@ClintCoons]

You would be the grantor and the trust is the grantee e.g., John Doe Trustee of the Doe Living Trust Dated March 1, 2010. Your living trust will state how you take title under your trust.
