how to geta builder to change from a special warranty deed to a general warranty deed?

We Answered:

Sounds as if you may be confusing a number of different issues.

To oversimplify, the general warranty deed warrants marketable title stretching back into history. A special warranty deed only warrants good title from the person you're buying it from. It is more limited, but it's perfectly OK. It's very, very unlikely that the person (often, it's a lender following a foreclosure) will (or even has the power to) convert the deed to a general warranty deed.

Just get good buyer's title insurance and you will be OK.

No, there's no need to get title insurance before a contract. That's something that's done after the contract.

Inspections are an entirely different matter...if you mean a home inspection. Yes, buyers should always have a home inspection.

If you mean a title "inspection" (a title search, really), yes. That's necessary. But, again, that's done after the contract.

Consult with a real estate lawyer for the details. But just make sure that your contract is contingent upon marketable title. A special warranty deed should be sufficient. Get buyer's title insurance. And have the title search done as part of the purchase process.

Hope that helps.

How long do I have to pay used car sales tax in Missouri?

We Answered:

You will not get a title in your name until the sales tax is paid. The dealer probably collected the sales tax already.

How does transferring a car title work?

We Answered:

You need only a valid, properly filled out title from the Missouri seller. You have only a certain time limit (30 days?) to transfer the title into your name. Look up the time limit on the Kansas DMV website

Transferring title in missouri?

We Answered:

No. You're going to ask your parents to borrow the tags and insurance, and take the title they sign over to you, to IL. Then you add the car to your IL policy, and brin gthe signed over MO title to your dmv, and transfer it there in IL.
