Property Redemption Process Guide

Summary

To transfer property during the redemption period in Texas, initiate probate to transfer ownership from your deceased father to you. The buyer should pay the redemption cost. After redemption, create a new deed transferring the property to the buyer. Set up an escrow agreement to ensure funds are held securely until the transfer is complete. Consulting a real estate attorney is advisable to navigate this process smoothly.
