I do not recommend putting a house into the name of a minor child EVER. A friend of mine did it and it's a nightmare to sell it or refinance it later.

If the property is jointly owned, you can't do it without dad's permission.

I highly recommend that you call PATRICIA BUSHMAN at 713-807-9405. Talk to Jessica in her office and tell her that FRAN sent you.

Happy Holidays!
