Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Utah

Ownership of Land

I own 3/4 of 10 acres of land. My parents have both passed away and 1/4 of the land is now owned by my step dads brother. He has done a warranty deed to me for the land.

Is that all I need from him to release the land so I can sell it.

I want to make sure the land is all in my name.

The brother and I have come to a verbal; agreement stating we will pay him X monies tro satisfy his interest iin the property.

Re: Ownership of Land

It deoends on whether he deeded all 10 acres to you. If you have less than the 10 acres, it will probably need to be formally subdivided. If you have the entire property then you can sell. To determine whether the property is in your name make sure the warranty deed has been recorded with the county recorded.
