Where can I get a free Texas Warranty Deed pdf. to copy?
Welcome Claudia,
As far as I know, if there is a will, then you will be liable for probating the will in order to get the property transferred in your name.

I asked the county clerk for a SPECIAL WARRANTY DEED form so I could file it myself. She told me there were no forms to fill out, I would have to go to a title company and they could draw one up for me. Not what I wanted to hear, so I asked her do I have to use a company? She told me no, I could simply type up a deed myself and get it notarized by both parties, then file it at the county court house where the property is. That's what I wanted to hear! I asked here one more question, is there an example of how a warranty deed should look like? She told me that I could look at any deed and use it as an example. So I looked up the property I was buying (county.org, then name of seller in search) and printed it.
Here's the pain, I typed it all over again but using the new information that included my information because I was the NEW buyer (grantee) of the property. It all worked fine and I recorded the two pages you see above at the county court house in my area. I paid the county clerk $20.00 fee and the cost of a notary republic that was $3.00….not bad for a do it yourselfer kind of person!
FYI: You can find a simple WARRANTY DEED at Office Depot for $8.99 then do everything yourself as I stated here and it will work too. You don't have to use a title company; all you have to do is what you see here. The main things you need are 'GRANTOR' information and 'GRANTEE' information as well as the property's information, how much you paid for it and any conditions both parties agree with. Then both parties information for the notary republic as you see above and that's it!
YOU NEED TO READ EVERYTHING ON THE TWO PAGES AND PUT THE RIGHT INFORMATION THAT PERTAINENS TO YOU. You'll see where I put this [ ] where you need to change things. Delete it and instructions on the two pages where you see it.
Hope this works out for you as it did for me, remember this is for TEXAS. Not sure what other states require but I would think it's the same. Just ask question at your local tax collator's office. You should be able to do this yourself and save on fees. I did!
Good luck!

Thank you for this, guest!! :)
Hello
I just purchased a condo and wanted to change ownership, but I wanted to know what type of form do I need to have for my records that he sold me the condo? Is a Special Warrenty Deed enough?

Welcome Rosalinda,
You should ask the seller to transfer the property to you using a warranty deed. You can even get in touch with a real estate attorney and take his opinion in this regard.
