Laramie,Wyoming Real Estate: Taking Title in Wyoming

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Live in Laramie Real Estate, Laramie, Wyoming WY #12296

In Wyoming, you have the choice of taking title of real property in 8 different ways:

  • Sole Owner                                       
  • Husband and Wife
  • Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship
  • Tenants In Common
  • Partnership
  • LLC
  • Corporation
  • Trust

Often, deciding on which way to take title is straightforward.  But other times,the nature of the relationships between owners and ownership interests will determine the best way title should be recorded.  Over the next few days I will explain what each way to take title means.  And as always, (big disclaimer here!) consult with an attorney to get the best advice for your situation.

It's nice to see it in black and white!  I'm surprised at times when at the settlement table -- and the first the buyers ever hear about this is when the title clerks asks them!

Richard - I hope I can do the explanations justice!  Especially since it can be complicated sometimes . . . .

I’ll be back to read your descriptions, I wasn’t aware there were so many options. I wonder if the same is true for Pa.

Good information for home buyers. Those that plan to use mortgage financing should check with their lender before forming a corporation or LLC.
