“Quick Claim Deed or Quit Claim Deed?” —New Article Released by LegaLees’ Attorney Lee R. Phillips
Orem, UT (PRWEB) August 08, 2013 -- Asset protection is designed to help people save their assets from lawsuits and creditors. This is an important part of personal legal planning. Many people try to get asset protection by deeding their property into a legal entity. Novices do not know whether to use a quick claim deed or quit claim deed. In this article, attorney Lee Phillips explains that it is a “quit claim deed” and not a “quick claim deed.” He then defines the term and explains how a quit claim deed can get folks in trouble with the mortgage company. The quit claim deed, if it is not done correctly, can trigger a problem with the “due on sale clause” of the mortgage.
There are many different legal entities used by folks to get asset protection. However, when property is quit claim deeded into some of these entities, it triggers a due on sale clause with the mortgage company. In his article attorney Phillips reviews the different entities and explains the asset protection value of the entity and which entities do not trigger the due on sale clause. If these facts are not understood in the end, these strategies won’t give people the asset protection they think they are getting. This article was written to help people understand important aspects of asset protection and gain an understanding of how some of the asset protection strategies can fail. This will help people get a better handle on their asset protection choices.
Mr. Phillips says, “Quit claim deeds that trigger a “due on sale clause” have not been a problem lately because mortgage rates have been going down. The mortgage company has nothing to gain. However as interest rates begin to go up, it could be profitable for mortgage companies to begin to “call the loan.” They will be able to make more interest by re-loaning their money at higher interest rates.”
