Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Re: deeds

First, deeds are single use documents. That is a deed evidences a property transfer from the previous owner to the current owners. Once the deed is registered with the register of deeds that it. It just a piece of paper. To change owner ship interests a NEW deed must be drawn up.

Is what you're asking can one of the co-tenants sell off their interests? Possibly as they are tenants in common.

Now if the ownership had only been transfered to a husband and wife then it would be a tenants in the entireties. Then both husband and wife would have to agree to a sale. Adding the daughter makes a tenancy in common which removes the requirement of both tenants to agree to a transfer of interests.

I hope this helps its confusing at best.

If you have any questions. Feel free to contact me these are difficult concepts even for lawyers.

I can be contacted either by email or phone.

Even tonight. There's no charge for that.

Hope this helps,
