A special warranty deed includes a covenant that the land is free of any encumbrances done or suffered by the grantor and that the grantor will defend the title against the claims and demands of those claiming by, through, or under the grantor.

Adding someone to your house deed requires the filing of a legal form known as a quitclaim deed. When executed and notarized, the quitclaim deed legally overrides the current deed to your home. By filing the quitclaim deed, you can add someone to the title of your home, in effect transferring a share of ownership.

File a petition in probate court. The first step to transferring the property to the rightful new owners is to open up a case in probate court. Petition the court for sale and convey the property to the purchaser. Next, you must petition the court to sell the property.

A special warranty deed to real estate offers protection to the buyer through the seller's guarantee that the title has been free and clear of encumbrances during their ownership of the property. It does not guarantee clear title beyond their ownership.

If one co-owner dies, their interest in the property automatically passes to the surviving co-owner(s), whether or not they have a will. As tenants in common, co-owners own specific shares of the property. Each owner can leave their share of the property to whoever they choose.

Typically, you need the property ownership document and the Will, or the Will with probate or succession certificate. In the absence of a Will, you may also need to prepare an affidavit along with a no-objection certificate from other legal heirs or their successors.

Get a copy of the probated will. Obtain a certified copy of the death certificate. Draft a new deed that names you as the property owner. Sign the new deed and have it notarized.

A Missouri (MO) quitclaim deed represents a means to transfer real property in Missouri. The name comes from actually quitting or transferring away your interest in a property. A quitclaim deed allows you to transfer whatever rights you may have in the property to another person or entity.

You should complete a 'Deceased joint proprietor' form on the government's website and then send the form to the Land Registry, with an official copy of the death certificate. The other joint owner then becomes the sole owner of the property.
