Who do I call to see if a property has been switched over to me from a parent Gifting a property to me?

Question

My mom is really sick, so she is kind of vague about this, but she said to call the Hennepin County Courthouse, but all that comes up is the Hennepin County District Judge, is that the correct number to call? if so who do I ask to talk to or do I just ask about the deed status etc? It's been about a month since she went through with the Gifting of the House, or so she says but nothing has come in the mail yet. Who do I call and will they be able to tell me if the house has been transferred to me?

I don't know if they have caught up by now, but several years ago that county was WAY WAY (as in YEARS) behind in recording property documents.  I have to believe that is over by now, but it is still a possibility.

Since you do not have any document specifics, they will most likely charge your a research fee to find what you are looking for, so be prepared to pay for the information.  It won't be hugely expensive, but it will not be free.

Have you decided if she or you are going to pay the gift taxes for the value of the home that exceeds about $14,000?  You may want to be ready to have an appraisal done (around $300 or so, probably) to support your claim of the property's value when calculating the tax.

If the property was put in your name it would have required your signature and acknowledgment of the transaction.  You would also be receiving the property tax bills.

Ask your mother.  She either transferred the deed or she did not.  She could have just Willed it to you or gave it to you in her Trust.  You did not say so we don 't know.  If she did not transfer the deed, then you should hire an attorney to handle it.

You go to the county recorder/clerk's office to look up deeds.
