Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Kentucky
contract for deed
Hello: I purchased a house for my daughter 7 years ago.
She and her husband have paid mortgage payment since then.
I would like to find a way to have them take over complete
control, as taxes claim interest and so on.
I paid $20,000.00 down at time of purchase but I want nothing from them.The cost $87,000.00 and the balance now is $43,000.00. Thanks for any help

Re: contract for deed
Hello,
You could use a deed with purchase money mortgage or a lease with option to buy. If there is a mortgage on the property, you should be certain that it doesn't contain a "due on sale clause" which allows the mortgage holder to accelerate the mortgage on sale of the property. Any competent attorney should be able to handle this.
