Property Title: What is It and How to Transfer
Transferring the title of a property involves several key steps to ensure the process is legally sound and effectively transfers ownership from one party to another. Here is a general outline of the steps involved in transferring a property title:
- Discussing Deed Terms with New Owners: This initial step involves clarifying the type of tenancy between the new owners, such as joint tenancy or tenancy in common. This is particularly important among family members or couples, where the right of survivorship might be considered.
- Hiring a Real Estate Attorney to Prepare the Deed: While it's technically possible to prepare a deed yourself, it can be complex, especially for warranty deeds. The deed includes personal details about the parties involved and a legal description of the property.
- Reviewing the Deed: Before signing, it's crucial to thoroughly check the deed for accuracy, ensuring all information, including full legal names and correct addresses, are correctly entered.
- Signing the Deed in front of a Notary Public: All sellers must sign the deed in the presence of a qualified notary public and any other witnesses required by state law. The deed then needs to be notarized.
- Filing the Deed on Public Record: The completed and signed deed must be filed at the local county recorder’s office. This step is essential for the transfer to be legally recognized and may involve fees and taxes.
- Clearing Any Title Issues: If a title search reveals any issues like liens, unpaid taxes, or clerical errors, these need to be resolved before the title can be transferred.
- Arranging Title Insurance: This is often required by the buyer's lender to protect against unforeseen issues with the title. The seller may also be required to provide an Owner's Policy.
- Completing the Transfer: Finally, the deed is signed by both the buyer and seller and then filed with the appropriate county or municipality to officially transfer the title.
