@Martin Zawarski I do it case by case, but have allowed a tenant to move in 1 week earlier(free) It helps deter vandalism and protects my HVAC...I NEVER release keys until 1st month paid and utilities transferred...Ask me how I know?...

@Ilidio Santana the property should be owned by the estate or in this case may have been transferred to the husband if he is the one selling it.

@Dion DePaoli In Indiana you don't need a license to transfer "equitable interest" to a third party for a fee.

A quick deed, silent deed, or any other deed transfer.

If, like in CA, title to real estate transfers immediately upon death of the owner subject to administration of the estate, then I wouldn't think that there's any time which a creditor could intercept and interfere.And then there's the issue as to the ability of a judgment creditor taking an aggressive position and attempting to penetrate the trust corpus.

My buddy is a developer, and a next door neighbor of one of his buildings has not made a mortgage payment in over a year, and Bank of America recently sold the note and/or transferred servicing to Nationstar.

If you count on being able to just transfer into another deal... well.

I am pretty confident I will make this happen in the next 12 months.

Here are a couple I can think of:- utilities transfer - call up the utility companies and transfer the accounts to your LLC/name to make sure you don't get interruption in service- make sure you get resident phone numbers and email addresses.

If the landlord is ultimately responsible for the utility payment, I want to keep it in my name.We once had to pay over $600 on back utilities for a deadbeat tenant, and we had to pay it before they would transfer the account anywhere else.
