Last month, I sent in my final mortgage payment. The house was owner financed, and I have a warranty deed. The people I bought from filed a Satisfaction of Mortgage, and it's been recorded at the courthouse. Now, I have to figure out how to get the title transfer into my name. There aren't any issues that need to be sorted out by a lawyer, doubt it could be any simpler. Unfortunately, I don't know what's involved, nor do the sellers. It could be just as simple as going to the Clerk of Court, showing my copy of the deed and Satisfaction. But, nothing at the courthouse seems so simple.
I've done many searches, learned some fancy words, but mostly it seems like it's not commonly done by buyers or sellers, but by a lawyer, or a conveyance company. I prefer to do things myself, or at least try, before hiring somebody to do it for me.
Figure a few people here have paid off a house or two, maybe somebody knows something on this topic.
