San Antonio, TX asked in Real Estate Law, Landlord - Tenant, Patents (Intellectual Property) and Probate for Texas

Q: Who would be the owner of a title or have claim to the title to real property if...

My father transfered a property to my mother through a special warranty deed that my grandmother had originally transfered to both of them through a warranty with vendor's lien but prior to this in '72 one half of the interest was transferred by a quitclaim deed to my grandmother while other part interest was transferred by a warranty deed to my grandmother giving her whole interest. Then in '79 she transferred it through a warranty with a vendor's lien to both parents they were married at that time but in '93 father transfered it through a special warranty deed to my mother they were divorced and the venders lien was not released till 2003 the special warranty deed does not reference any lien or to whom was responsible for the lien? Would that make the special warranty deed void and it would fall back to the owner original warranty deed with vendor's lien?

A: The only way any attorney can give you a definitive answer would be to review the entire chain of title with his or her own eyes.
