hi, my husband and i just bought our first home, a foreclosure. there were several companies/banks involved in the transfer, but only one was the recorded owner. our special warranty deed was signed by company a (not the registered owner) on november 1, and a quit claim deed was signed by company b (the registered owner) to company a on november 18. the documents were recorded into public record in the county in the correct order, but my question is... can company a sign a property to us on november 1 that they did not own until november 18? which date is the legal date of the document, the signed date, or the recorded date (which was actually 3 months later)? please help! thanks!!
Hi
Logically, the company A cannot transfer the property before Nov. 18 because this was the day when the property was legally transerred to them by company B. So, they came to be the legal owners of the property since Nov. 18. However, I think a consultation with a lawyer is a good option as he/she is the best person to answer your queries.
