Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
My dad & I own 33 acres of commercial raw land. He's in the middle of a divorce. The land was put in his & my name together via a family inheritance prior to this marriage. My dad wants to sell me his half of the property. We want to file a warranty deed & take the property out of his name & put it only in my name, how do I do that?
Thank you,
Mike

I am a Texas Lawyer and have drafted property transfer documents several times. I charge a flat fee of $200 to draft the transfer documents.
One potential issue that should be considered: Is your father under a standing order by the divorce court that prohibits the transfer of property. We can discuss this over the phone.
Good Luck!
