City Of Dallas issued the following announcement on June 25.
If you have property in Dallas with a disputed title, the Dallas Title and Property Assistance (TAPA) pilot program may be able to offer assistance.
The TAPA pilot program provides legal assistance to low-to-moderate income families on a variety of title and property issues. The goal is to clarify title ownership to encourage neighborhood stability and help homeowners become eligible for various funding programs to invest in their homes.
For many people, when a family member passes away, or income is a problem, it can be difficult for heirs or owners to fix title issues with their homes.
The TAPA program provides legal aid to residents to prevent foreclosures & tax penalties by subsidizing legal costs. Some of the services provided by TAPA include:
- Affidavit of Heirships
- Disclaimer Deeds
- Warranty Deeds
- Muniment of Title (evidence of ownership)
- Small Estate Affidavit
- Mediation between heirs to a property
- If you don’t know if your name is on the deed to your house
- Utility company refuses to discuss unpaid bills with you because your name is not on the deed
- A relative that owned the home in which you live passed away and had their name on the deed
