Mobile homes are obviously different from regular, permanent houses. First, they are created in a factory setting and then commuted to the given property of the mobile home owner. With that said, the legal paperwork for mobile homes is different, especially during a transfer from one person to another. It’s crucial to prepare paperwork correctly in order to make the transfer a flawless process without future legal issues cropping up. Document preparation varies by state, so be sure to get all the relevant details from Legalbargain.net. In the meantime, here are some mobile home transfer ideas to get you started:
First and basic requirement before you can transfer title to a mobile home is that you own the property, otherwise you cannot transfer title to the property when you do not own it to begin with.
If the title is already in your name, then you can proceed to transfer title as explained in the next paragraph. Otherwise, if the mobile home is an inheritance, you will have to wait until the probate process is completed before title is transferred into your name. On the other hand, some states do not require probate proceedings if there is no will, in which case the surviving heir inherits the mobile home.
Assuming that the title is already in your name, we can now proceed to the next step which is the process of transferring title. The process of transferring title to your mobile home is similar to transferring the title of a car and you have to go through an agency, that’s the Department of Motor Vehicles in Washington. The particular agency name varies per state but the function is to obtain title prior to transfer. Legalbargain.net provides a link to your official state agency in all fifty states and the District of Columbia.
If you found another place to live and are looking to move out quickly, a buyer may not be at your doorstep right away. Don’t be discouraged. It may be possible to move and store your mobile home. There are also resellers of Mobile homes who may be able to help. It is best to think about these issues well in advance. The park management may actually have suggestions and will likely appreciate that you are forthcoming about your situation. Remember if the management is collecting rent they also have a vested interest in keeping your lot space occupied.
Moving your mobile home can be a challenge especially if there are limitations as to where you can move. Such limitations vary; if you are looking to move to a mobile home community, you need to do some research first. Make sure the rules of the community fit your lifestyle and family situation. Don’t just assume that moving in doesn’t come with stipulations. For example, sometimes there are age restrictions on who can move into the community. Call around and ask questions – be proactive, not reactive.
