Do you know that Texas allows "Revocable Transfer Upon Death Deed" if you want your heirs avoid after you pass? Remember that you continue to own the property and can revoke it at anytime.

Do you know why Title Companies insist that your corporation be in good standing with the State before closing?

Item #1: When a corporate entity is not in good standing with the State, it has no legal authority to conduct business, period.

Item #2: A corporate entity that is not in good standing is like a dead person. A dead person cannot have property conveyed to her/him or convey property to anyone. The good news is that in the State of Texas, you can reinstate a corporate entity and bring it back to life in 1 day. If someone tells you that it takes 2 weeks, give me a call, and I will walk you through it.

Based on the two reasons above, any conveyance in which a defunct corporate entity is a party is not effective. In other words, if a defunct corporate entity conveys real property to you, title did not legally pass to you -- you got nothing for your money.

Remember that Power Of Attorney (POA) creates a fiduciary relationship between you, the Agent, and your Principal. The law allows you to use it for the best interest of your Principal. If you use a POA to convey the property of your Principal to yourself, it is either void or voidable.

Last week, we closed an interesting real estate file. Mom and dad were on title. Mom sold and conveyed house to their daughter, who was married. The warranty deed stated that money was paid for the conveyance. Dad was not mentioned on the warranty deed. Dad died without a will. Seller is now divorced. Lots of issues to resolve, thanks to our understanding of Texas probate laws, we resolved all issues and closed.
