Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Changing 'Grantee: as separate property'
I asked the question about a property that my wife and i purchased but the lien has my wife as 'Grantee; as separate property.'
Who has the right to change this to reflect that the property is bought by my wife and I, joint? My wife as Grantee? Her parents as Grantors? Her parents are also named as beneficary.

Re: Changing 'Grantee: as separate property'
I'm not sure what you mean when you say that her parents are named as beneficiary.
If the deed conveys the property to your wife, and reserves none of the property, then your wife can clear this up with a correction deed.
If the parents indeed kept some part of the property, for example they get it back upon your wife's death, then they and your wife would need to sign a different kind of correction deed.
You do need to consult with an attorney who can look at the deed for you.
