FAQ
In order to transfer ownership of the marital home pursuant to a divorce, one spouse is going to need to sign a quitclaim deed, interspousal transfer deed, or a grant deed, in order to convey the title to the property.
When you're ready to transfer trust real estate to the beneficiary who is named in the trust document to receive it, you'll need to prepare, sign, and record a deed. That's the document that transfers title to the property from you, the trustee, to the new owner.
Quitclaim Deeds are used when the transfer of ownership in the property does not occur as the result of a traditional sale.Under a warranty deed, if it turns out that the property is not what the seller promised or there's an uncleared lien or other block to the title, the buyer can sue the seller and recover damages.
A warranty deed contains a guarantee that the grantor has legal title and rights to the real estate. A quitclaim deed offers little to no protection to the grantee.Warranty deeds ensure that the grantor has the right to sell the property, and guarantees that there are no liens or encumbrances against the land.
Discuss property ownership interests. Access a copy of your title deed. Complete, review and sign the quitclaim or warranty form. Submit the quitclaim or warranty form. Request a certified copy of your quitclaim or warranty deed.
California Property TaxesTransferring real property to yourself as trustee of your own revocable living trust -- or back to yourself -- does not trigger a reassessment for property tax purposes. (Cal. Rev. & Tax Code § 62(d).)
Yes, a quit claim deed supercedes the trust. The only thing that can be done is to file a suit in court challenging the deed as the product of fraud and undue influence. A court action like that will cost thousands of dollars, but might be worth it if the house was owned free and clear.
In the context of a California mortgage transaction, a trust deed also transfer ownership. Only this time, the title is being placed in the hands of a third-party trustee, who holds the property on behalf of the lender and the homeowner-borrower until the mortgage is paid.
A quitclaim deed can be used to transfer property from a trust, but a Special Warranty Deed seems to be a more common way to do this.
