Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers

Quitclaim Deed
California
Recording a quitclaim deed: how?
I recently inherited a property from my aunt and I am looking to transfer the title to my name. My aunt had created a Quitclaim deed transferring the title to me, but I am unsure of the process to record the deed and make it official. I would like to understand the process of recording a quitclaim deed to ensure that the title to the property is legally transferred to me.
Boris K.
You probably want an attorney to review the deed and make sure it looks ok. You also want an attorney to help you with completing the Preliminary Change of Ownership Form (used by county to determine reassessment of taxes). If all of that looks good, then you want to record the deed with the county recorder. I can review deed and help with Preliminary Change of Ownership Form for $295. Same Day Service.

Financing Agreement
New York
Can refinancing my mortgage help me save money in the long run?
I am currently considering refinancing my mortgage and would like to know if this option can help me save money in the long run. I purchased my home three years ago and have been making regular mortgage payments since then. However, I recently learned that interest rates have significantly dropped since I obtained my mortgage, and I am wondering if refinancing would allow me to secure a lower interest rate and reduce my monthly mortgage payments. I am also curious to know if there are any potential drawbacks or costs associated with refinancing that I should be aware of before making a decision.
Arthur S.
Depending on the rate differential between your current mortgage loan and the refinancing proposal, the saving in the long term can be substantilal. In the short term, the savings in debt service payments will be off-set by the cost of the refinancing, e.g. commitment and loan fees, appraisal and other underwriting costs imposed by a new lender), mortgage title fees and atty fees (taking into account you, the borrower, customarily pays the new lender's atty costs). That said, many residential lenders limit the costs to residential borrowers of the financing costs of any such refinancing),

what do I need to do transfer the property on mine and my husband 's name I have two of my kids on it?
my house is on my name including my husband and two of my kids
Craig C.
Unfortunately, this requires the standard lawyer answer of "it depends." However, at face value it appears you would need to file a general warranty deed conveying the property from whoever you want "OFF" of the deed to you.

Residential Listing Agreement
California
Can a seller terminate a Residential Listing Agreement before the agreed-upon period ends?
I recently entered into a Residential Listing Agreement with a real estate agent to sell my property, but I am now considering terminating the agreement before the agreed-upon period ends. The agent has not been able to generate any offers or interest in the property, and I am concerned about the lack of progress. I want to know if I have the right to terminate the agreement early and if there are any potential consequences or obligations I should be aware of.
Dolan W.
Hello! I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this. Legally speaking, most real estate agent agreements generally state you must pay their commissions even if you terminate the relationship, typically up to 6 months after the termination of the relationship. In theory, you have a breach of contract action if this person has not done any actual work or generated any offers or any interest in the property. This would likely make the agreement "unconscionable" in this case. So what does this mean? It means your best option is to negotiate the termination How do you do that? One little-known, but very effective tool that lawyers use to settle matters outside of court is called principled negotiation. All this means is that you are looking to get something done on the basis of principles, even if you can’t find a law to support you. It takes the anxiety out of dealing with the other side because you’re focused on the facts, not each other. With that said, here are some simple steps you can follow: Figure out what the other side’s interests are (saving money, saving time, etc.?); Think about what your interests are (saving money, saving time, etc.?); Come up with 2 to 3 reasonable and objective ways to solve the problem; Present it to the other side; If the other side rejects, ask them, “Is there a reason why you do not feel it is necessary to negotiate?” Consider what your best alternative to a negotiated agreement is. This will give you confidence that no matter what, you'll have an option. Of course, these are just building blocks to get the other party to help solve the dispute. Believe me when I say that good lawyers use this technique all the time to keep things out of court. You’ll find that it is very effective even with the most stubborn of individuals. Best of luck!
