The TWO words that MUST appear on your house deed!

[@ronaldohagenow1467]

I just watched this, I’m in Vermont and bought property from a friend of over 30 years in 2019, I’m now 70 years old, I was 65 when i bought this property, 1) Mistake one, I didn’t involve my attorney, my friend and I transacted the purchase w/o one, 2) I paid him in cash, $31,000, this was to be my summer retreat then I’d travel in my RV in the winter season. So you see I made 2 big mistakes, I trusted a friend and I trusted a friend. We’ve been in the courts for years trying to resolve this, he just refuses to sign over the deed, plus my attorneys just retired and moved to Europe. So I spent $31 K to my friend and another $30=K in legal to date, we’re not to old to learn a valuable lesson, never trust a friend w a contract, and have an attorney involved, great video. Hopefully I resolve this so my children don’t have to. Great video

For a short time, I went to auctions that required a letter of credit of a certain amount to get in. So a letter of credit should be enough to get the contracts signed; then a check written on that account would give a paper trail, and it is always good to have 2 witnesses (not family or close friends). I hope this will be settled soon, and you get the property in your name.

My partner and I owed six lots in Elizabethtown NM. We completed and submitted the new deed as joint tenants. He died two years ago so I drove, from CA, to NM with his death certificate. I was then informed that we were listed as equal owners and that I would need to go through probate. I said no a mistake has been made on the part of the assessor as our paperwork has us listed as joint tenants. Well, our cabin was broke into and our safe with the paperwork was stolen. I spoke with the Probate judge who stated that we would have to go through probate. He suggested I contact the district judge to see if he would let me be the inheritor due to our long relationship. I have not pursued this yet. Obviously, along with his death, this has caused considerable stress for me.

Thanks for this info. Just a hint from someone who knows. If your parents are divorced, or if one is dead, the second spouse (or side piece) can easily end up with everything that your parent thought would come to you. Right to survivorship on bank accounts and property means if Your Parent dies before the side piece, the side piece gets everything.

Create a Family Trust (or the American equivalent) anybody with anything does it to prevent direct association, unnecessary transfers or taxation fees or property seizures, leans or asset taxes. You become trustees of the trust and there is no ownership transfer. Effectively it's like an asset holding company and you're on the board of directors along with others usually family members to prevent you being a sole owner/operator. How do you think the rich keep what they've got, reduce taxes and legal liability on assets they perhaps cant afford upon a death?

Buyers of property need more than just “Joint Tenants” as a deed title. In many states “Joint tenants” can be an ambiguous title, it can be challenged as to whether the parties meant w/ right of survivorship or more as a “tenant in common” type of ownership. It is better to clearly define it as “Joint Tenant w/right of Survivorship” if you want your ownership to pass thru to the other joint tenant on your death so it would not go through probate (some states automatically recognize “Joint Tenants” meaning with right of survivorship” ). But even in that case some states still require a notice of deed title name change recorded in probate/land court. Most married couples choose to be titled as “Tenants by the Entirety” only reserved for married couples. Each of the couple owns 100% of the property there needs to be no probate in this case. The couples interest in the property automatically passes to the other without probate when one dies. Not all states use the term “Tenants by Entirety” title.

Tenancy by the entirety in Florida is a form of joint ownership that protects property from creditors of either spouse.

My wife could manage on her own without me or my estate though my pension income would cease, which I why I want her to have the house and monies to maintain her lifestyle if I predecess her. With the PODs and TODs, there isn't enough items of value to be concerned with.

joint tenants. not applicable if u r sole owner. bill of sale is insufficient for real estate or vehicles. of course u must get title! eziest way is to have owner (if it is owned outright) sign a quit claim deed over to u at time of sale, in front of notary that is notarizing it. buyer gets deed, seller gets money. if it is mortgaged u best get a title company & buy title insurance.

So all this is about 'Property/Real Estate Deeds of Ownership' yet the Supposed Owners of the Property are listed as Tenants or Joint Tenants rather than 'Owners' Hmmmmm.... Makes you wonder if they're really Owners of the Property or just 'Renters/Tenants'!? 🤔

[@victoryamartin9773]

If there are joint tenants, do they both (all) have to sign to sell the property?

[@davidcarlen8363]

I used a lawyer 30 years ago it's still screwed up, I sold a house lawyer fd' it up

[@alcopower5710]

Can you gave 3 people listed as Joint Tenants with rights of survivorship?

[@BENJAMIN-zi4gv]

I don't think I have this on my Home Owner documents. How do I go about doing it? My name and Moms Name are listed as Co-owners. She got the loan which is now paid off. I paid it off. She's 88 I'm 61. I remember signing something saying. If one dies the other assumes sole ownership

Why husband 50 and wife 50? Can you explain why?

[@leesapage-long5805]

Question My husband & I, married since 1996. Bought our house in 2003. Due to my bad credit at the time of purchase. Our house is in his name only. What do we need to do, to protect me? We live in Oregon & our current balance owed is less than $18k

[@Mike1122.]

Why didn’t he add you to the deed at closing? I understand he’s on the loan but he should have added you to the original deed. Now, It’s very common, add yourself to the deed with him and you both sign and file at the county recorder.

[@OGmediaErica]

Our county never told us where to place the real deed. It’s stuck in my husbands mom and dad’s name! They also falsified addresses and took it to like we were a different county and everything! They have both those words on the falsified deed that has my husbands ex on and he never signed that! It’s forged and his identity was stolen by his ex and a banker.

What about “Tenants by the Entirety “ for married couples?

[@yourworstfear]

PAID OFF!!!!!

[@Clarc115]

What are the implications when the couple, listed as man and wife, own the property in the Entirety and one spouse is the survivor?

[@TR-BA369]

THANK YOU 😊

[@rongendron8705]

My wife & I have a house deed, that doesn't appear to have the JTWROS on it! Can it be added later?

[@BroncoYeller]

I don't understand you said "Joint Ownership with right of Survivorship" and then said "Joint Tenancy with with right of Survivorship." Which is it?

[@angiliquedavison]

What about the 2 words, "Upon Death" and the percentage that each beneficiaries listed gets. thats what I have now and is legal with the registor of deeds. I'm single, no kids.

[@toddrhine7648]
