An affidavit of heirship can be used when someone dies without a will, & the estate consists mostly of real property titled in the deceased’s name. It is an affidavit used to identify the heirs to real property when the deceased died without a will (that is, intestate). An affidavit of heirship should be signed by two disinterested witnesses. To qualify as a disinterested witness, one must be knowledgeable about the deceased & his or her family history, but cannot benefit financially from the estate.
This will be required by the court to do any transfer of ownership to the property, sometimes without this, it is impossible to speak with lenders, it can also hinder clearing up clouded title.

Owner financing is a sensible way to sell property & extremely common all over the United States. (It has been estimated that approximately 10% to 15% of property sold is now sold with seller financing.) Offering to finance the purchaser of your property can help you sell it quickly, may provide tax benefits & will give you a nice source of monthly income.
Owner financing, is when all or part of the purchase price is carried by the seller. In other words, the seller agrees to lend money to the buyer to purchase & close on the property. Essentially, the seller plays the role of the banker & carries back the loan. But for all intents & purposes, owner financing operates as a traditional loan with the buyer sending regular (usually monthly) payments to the lender (in this case the seller). The main benefit of owner financing is the flexibility. You’ve heard the old saying, “Everything is negotiable.”
This agreement protects the buyer & seller & gives the seller the ability to foreclose due to non-payment. All transfer of title, notarized & recorded is included.

Buying subject to means buying a home subject to the existing mortgage & debts. It means the seller is not paying off the existing mortgage, & the buyer is instead taking over the payments. The unpaid balance of the existing mortgage is then calculated as part of the buyer’s purchase price.

A wraparound mortgage, is officially called a deed of trust in Texas. In a technical legal sense, the Grantor (the borrower/buyer) conveys the property to a Trustee (usually an attorney) to hold for the benefit of the Beneficiary (you, the seller/lender). This document secures the buyer’s promise to pay the note by creating a lien against the property you are selling. (This lien is fairly redundant to the vendor’s lien in the special warranty deed, because in most cases, the seller & the lender are not the same entity.
So this is a bit of a belt-&-suspenders approach, but too much protection is far better than too little.) The deed of trust also secures the buyer’s promise to pay your mortgage, even if the buyer is paying your lender directly. If the buyer fails to pay either the first mortgage (to the lender) or the second mortgage (to you), you would be able to foreclose. This document needs to be signed & notarized because it will be recorded in the county’s property records. You keep the original, record it & have the recorded original mailed to you or your trustee, with a copy to the buyer.
