Questions answered? Let's get started!

Texas homestead law turns away nearly every lien a creditor can devise, and an owelty of partition lien is one of the few it admits. Article XVI, Section 50(a)(3) of the Texas Constitution excepts from homestead protection an owelty of partition imposed against the entirety of the property by a court order or by a written agreement of the parties to the partition, including a debt of one spouse in favor of the other resulting from the award of a family homestead in a divorce. This form prepares the deed built on that exception: one co-owner conveys an undivided interest to the other, and the deed retains an owelty of partition lien against the whole property to secure the equalizing payment.

Equality money, secured by the entire property

Owelty is an old word for the money that makes a division equal. When two owners split co-owned real estate and one keeps property worth more than that owner's share, the difference is owed as owelty, and partition law secures it with a lien on the share of greater value. The Texas Supreme Court described the power to award owelty as a necessary incident of partitioning property in Sayers v. Pyland (1942) and confirmed that the lien can arise in a voluntary partition by agreement, not only in a courtroom. What makes the owelty lien unusual is its reach: it attaches to the entirety of the property, including the interest the paying owner already held, and it holds even where the property is the paying owner's homestead.

Why the grantee signs too

Most deeds carry one signature. This one carries two, and the second is where the lien's constitutional footing lives. The exception reaches a lien imposed by a court order or by a written agreement of the parties to the partition, so the deed is drafted as that written agreement: the grantor conveys the undivided interest with a special warranty, retaining the owelty lien, and the grantee joins to agree in writing to the partition and to the imposition of the lien against the entirety of the property, the grantee's own original interest included. The deed provides a place to identify a divorce decree or separate partition agreement, and it states in capital letters that the lien holds until the owelty note is fully paid, at which time the deed becomes absolute.

The paperwork around the deed

The recorded deed travels with companions: the owelty note that states the payment terms, commonly a deed of trust to secure owelty of partition, and, at payoff, a recorded release of lien. Because a properly imposed owelty lien is valid against a homestead, Texas title and lending practice treats the buyout as secured financing rather than a home equity transaction. The deed records with the county clerk of the county where the property is located and carries the confidentiality notice of Property Code Section 11.008 on its first page.

The download includes the deed as a fillable PDF formatted to Texas recording standards, a completed example filled in for a Bexar County divorce fact pattern, and a plain language guide covering each numbered section, the two signature design, and recording. The materials describe the law in general terms and are not legal advice.

Thanks for providing this service. We had searched for weeks for the correct documents. It might help clients to find you soon if the banks and mortgage companies can refer clients to you. They require the forms but offer no direct source to obtain them. You are 5 star in every way.

This was fantastic. I downloaded the document, filled it out, printed it, had it notarized and drove to the recorders office and had it recorded within less than 15 minutes. Instructions are precise and easy to understand. You saved me hundreds of dollars a lawyer would have charged for the same work.

I thought this form was great and easy to complete but the instructions were unclear as to whether the grantee- beneficiaries needed to sign and notarize their signatures as well. It did not appear to be the case but it would be helpful if the instructions spelled this out better.

Very fast and efficient. Easy to fill out but was upset the latest tax exemptions ruled in 2014 did not seem to be included. Exclusion of sale to blood relatives, etc. _ the one I needed.
