How to Get a Property Deed in Philadelphia
When you have a deed in your name, you can sell your home, apply for mortgages, home repair programs and equity loans, and be eligible for government programs, including real estate tax breaks and utility assistance. But according to a report from Pew Charitable Trusts, more than 10,000 properties in Philadelphia have "tangled titles" - a situation in which a person lives in a property they "own" or have the right to own, but their name is not on the deed. The Inquirer published a how-to manual for people who inherited a property to obtain the deed, including key terms to understand, documents to prepare, potential costs involved and pitfalls to avoid.
