Why Your Deed Transfer Might Be a Bad Idea: A Real Estate Attorney’s Perspective

Divorce is tough, and dealing with real estate matters during a divorce can make it even tougher. 😓 Hi, I’m ABI from ABI Legal in Pearland, Texas, and today I want to talk about something that’s been popping up a lot in my practice: the deed transfer. More specifically, I want to warn you about the potential pitfalls of rushing into a deed transfer without thinking through all the financial implications.

The Hidden Dangers of a Deed Transfer

When you’re in the middle of a divorce, your family law attorney might suggest a deed transfer to remove your name from the property. On the surface, this seems like a logical step—after all, you’re separating your life from your ex, so why not separate your property too? But here’s the catch: If your name is still on the mortgage, you’re still financially responsible for those payments. 😬

This is a critical point that often gets overlooked. Your divorce decree might say you’re not responsible for the mortgage anymore, but that doesn’t mean the bank agrees. If your ex-spouse stops paying the mortgage, your credit score is going to take a hit. And in today’s financial landscape, a bad credit score can haunt you for a long time, affecting everything from buying a car to securing a new place to live.

Why You Need a Real Estate Attorney

This is why it’s so important to consult with a real estate attorney before you make any decisions about transferring property. 🚨 As someone who deals with these issues regularly, I can tell you that a rushed deed transfer can lead to a lot of headaches down the road.

For instance, once your name is off the property, you lose the ability to file for partition. This means you have no legal standing to force the sale of the property if things go south. Your only option would be to go back to family court to enforce the divorce decree—a process that can be long, expensive, and not always effective.

Instead, consider keeping your name on the property until you can address the mortgage. Whether that means refinancing, selling the property, or coming up with another solution, the goal is to ensure that you’re not left holding the bag if your ex decides to stop paying.

Protecting Your Financial Future

So, what should you do? Here are some tips to help you navigate this tricky situation:

Don’t Rush the Deed Transfer: Take your time and think through all the financial implications. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

Consult a Real Estate Attorney: A real estate attorney can help you understand the full impact of transferring property and can work with your family law attorney to create a comprehensive plan.

Handle the Mortgage First: Make sure there’s a plan in place for the mortgage before you remove your name from the deed. This could involve refinancing or selling the property.

Keep Communication Open: Make sure everyone involved understands the plan, including your ex-spouse and any financial institutions. Clear communication can prevent a lot of problems down the line.

Final Thoughts: Stay in Control

Divorce is already difficult enough without adding unnecessary financial stress. By taking a strategic approach to your real estate matters, you can protect yourself from future headaches and ensure that you’re making the best decisions for your financial future. 🛡️

Remember, it’s not just about removing your name from the property; it’s about making sure that you’re not left with a financial burden that could haunt you for years to come. So, take your time, consult with professionals, and make sure you’re making informed decisions.

Treat Your Divorce Like A Business Deal

You need to treat your divorce like a business deal—because that is the way your husband will.  A marriage is nothing more than a contract. Divorce is nothing more than the dissolution of that contract.

Do your research! Read "The Divorce Survival Guide for Women" to learn every aspect of the divorce process. Read the articles and blog posts @www.preparefordivorce.com for even more information.

Consulting with a divorce attorney before you actually need one is the best way to research about what to  expect during the divorce and the divorce process in your state.  This will help you avoid mistakes that could cost you dearly later.

Although it is very important that you hire the best, most experienced divorce attorney that you can afford, you must always remain in control.  Just giving a divorce attorney a retainer and letting him take over is a huge mistake. You need to be involved in every aspect of the divorce process.

Settling your divorce out of court is the ideal situation. You don't want a judge making the decisions that will affect you the rest of your life. Everyone loses in court—from the cost, emotionally and financially—to the chance of getting a bad judge (and most of them are bad). The only winners are the attorneys!

Do I Have To Give My Spouse Part Of My Business In Our Divorce?

When spouses are going through a divorce, one thing that always must be addressed is property division.  However, when one or both spouses own a business, or even have an interest in a business, property division can be much more complicated.  A common question spouses ask is: Do I have to give my spouse part of my business in our divorce?  In Massachusetts, the short answer is No, but the answer isn’t that simple.   Under the property division statute in Massachusetts, Massachusetts General Laws chapter 208, section 34, the Probate and Family Court must consider the following factors in dividing the marital estate:   length of the marriage, the conduct of the parties during the marriage, the age, health, station, occupation, amount and sources of income, vocational skills, employability, estate, liabilities and needs of each of the parties, the opportunity of each for future acquisition of capital assets and income, and the amount and duration of alimony, if any, awarded under sections 48 to 55, inclusive. In fixing the nature and value of the property to be so assigned, the court shall also consider the present and future needs of the dependent children of the marriage. The court may also consider the contribution of each of the parties in the acquisition, preservation or appreciation in value of their respective estates and the contribution of each of the parties as a homemaker to the family unit     Also, the appellate courts have routinely stated that property division includes any assets of each spouse, regardless of whether the assets are titled in only one spouse’s name, in both spouse’s name, or in one spouse’s name jointly with another individual.  This typically means that a business interest, even if it is only in one spouse’s name, is a marital asset that will be divided one way or another.   However, the next step is to determine how much that business (or the spouse’s business interest) is worth.  That almost always requires a business appraisal by a financial expert qualified to conduct business appraisals for a divorce.  Many spouses think that this is something their own CPA can do, but oftentimes CPA’s will not qualify as an expert for business appraisal purposes in the eyes of the Probate and Family Court.  Thus, the spouses must either each hire a business appraiser to conduct an appraisal of the business, or the spouses can agree to hire one business appraiser to conduct a joint appraiser.   Once the business appraiser conducts his analysis, he will give the spouses and their attorneys two numbers: 1) the value of the business (or spouse’s business interest); and 2) what is a “reasonable compensation” for that business owner spouse for purposes of calculating child support and/or alimony.  With these two numbers in hand, spouses and their attorneys then have to figure how what, if anything, is the non-business owner spouse entitled to from the value of the business.   This does not mean that the non-business owner spouse will actually obtain an ownership interest in the business.  Rather, the business owner spouse will then have to pay the non-business owner spouse a certain dollar amount for property division based upon the value of the business.  Depending on how much is left in the marital estate (above and beyond the value of the business) this can sometimes be done with a trade off of assets where the non-business owner spouse receives a greater share of the other assets.  However, when there are not enough assets for a trade off, then the business owner spouse typically is given time to essentially “buy out” the non-business owner spouse from the value of the business.  This is typically done in a weekly or monthly installment payments over period of time.  These payments are not considered alimony, but rather property division payments.   The amount the non-business owner spouse receives from the business depends on the factors outlined in Massachusetts General Laws chapter 208, section 34.  The non-business owner spouse is not automatically entitled to 50% of the value of the business.  Depending on the statutory factors, the non-business owner spouse may receive less than 50% of the value of the business.   Thus, in Massachusetts, a business owner spouse does not have to actually give the non-business owner spouse a portion of the business, but the non-business owner spouse will likely be entitled to a monetary compensation based upon the value of the business.     Read the full article

The Clap Is Back!

Gonorrhea, the STI your grandparents knew as the clap is back—and unhappily, it's stronger than it ever was. A report from the World Health Organization shows that antibiotic resistance is making gonorrhea—the second most reported STI, infecting 820,000 people per year—much harder to treat.

If you're not scared of getting gonorrhea, here's a sobering thought—left untreated, gonorrhea can lead to chronic pelvic pain or infertility. Scientists fear that soon, some strains won't respond to antibiotics at all. The problem is the rampant antibiotic use.

A CDC study found that one third of all antibiotic prescriptions are unnecessary. Doctors prescribe antibiotics for even mild ailments like the common cold.  And the bacteria that causes gonorrhea is resistant to almost every antibiotic.

Things to think about: You should never take an antibiotic unless it is absolutely necessary. You should make sure anyone you decide to have sex with has a medical clearance from all STI's. Just don't hop into bed with anyone without them having a medical clearance! AIDs still exists, as does Herpes and Genital Warts. Using a condom helps but is not that reliable.

The CDC is busy tracking resistant infections and developing new ways to target which antibiotic will work best for the specific strain you have.

You have to be wise and cautious!
