OT -Need to file a private mortgage??

I was surprised, I never even thought about why, just assumed that everyone did record all mortgages. *The only reason I can see for recording the mortgage is to let any future prospective purchasers of the property be aware of the fact the the owners do not have a completely clear title to the property. *What am I missing?? A morgtage isn't your only option. A Contract for Deed is another. If everything goes right, it works the same way - at the end of the payment period, the buyer owns the property. If there's some hiccup, title remains with the seller. Even with a Contract for Deed, you should still record the transaction with your registrar of deeds. Talk to a real estate attorney. It'll be the best $200 you'll spend. And by the way, it's a form 1098, not a form 1099 that's filed. *This is not necessary, anyway as long as you report the income on your taxes and they report the interest on theirs. *The tax form has a place to report mortgage interest that wasn't reported on a 1098 form. Tom G- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Thanks, I should have remembered it was a 1098, but it was very late when I posted. I will be recording the mortgage just to establish an extra legal basis if there are ever any controversies. Since it is my daughter and son-in-law, they will just be paying into my and my wife's estates when that time comes if they have not paid off the loan. For those who cautioned me about all the pitfalls, believe me, I am well aware of what can and frequently does go wrong in family relationships. Bob H |
