How to Transfer assets to my company...

Asked by a user in Dallas, TX - over 2 years ago.

Have you already formed an LLC? If not, you would not want to transfer anything yet, of course. If so, as indicated by the other response, you usually would use a Bill of Sale for personal property.

How can property be transferred to someone when the owner of the property is deceased, but property was purchased before death?

Asked by a user in Dumas, TX - 11 months ago.

The County Clerk is correct...a bill of sale is not what you need, but instead, she should have given you a deed, conveying title from her as grantor to you as grantee. There are a number of different ways to resolve this matter, but the quickest would be to get a deed from the woman's heirs, if they are cooperative. Depending on the form of the document that you say you have from the seller, you could have what is called "equitable title" in Texas. This would mean you have the right to...
