When a home is sold through Sheriff's sale in Ohio you get a Warranty Deed from the Sheriff. In our county the Sheriff guarantees all liens against the property thus giving you clear title. The bank that foreclosed on the property is now the owner and they are responsable for all back taxes, liens etc unless otherwise stated. Anytime I purchase a home that has been foreclosed on, I get title insurance to cover any potential errors in title. - Wed Oct 8 2008, 06:26
Talk to an attorney. You may be able to do a living will trust . The Living Will Trust basically states that while he is alive, he owns the property with you but once he passes on, the land is yours only. This would be recorded at the courthouse. While alive, all parties have a say in what happens to the land including financing. - Tue Sep 23 2008, 07:51
Yes! FHA and some other government programs allow you to purchase a home 2 years after a bankruptcy. You will need 3% down for FHA. This money can come from a reletive or grant program as well as from the seller. Oct. 1 you will no longer be able to allow the seller to pay the 3%. In most cases, your rate won't be affected by the bankruptcy since it has been 4 years. You are probably looking at anywhere from 6.5 -7.25% fixed. - Mon Aug 18 2008, 06:40
