Deed transfers are required for real estate transactions

When people buy or sell real estate, they need to transfer legal ownership of the property from one party to another. This process is known as a deed transfer and it requires that certain documents be filed with the appropriate government agency. Deed transfers are governed by state law and can involve complex procedures depending on the jurisdiction in which the transaction takes place. Understanding how these transactions work is essential for anyone considering buying or selling real estate. 

Understanding Deed Transfers

When transferring a deed, there must be two parties involved – a grantor who conveys their interest in the property to a grantee who receives it. The deed itself is then executed by both parties and delivered to the other side before being recorded with local authorities such as county clerks or registrars of deeds. Depending on where you live, this may require an attorney’s assistance to ensure everything is done correctly according to state laws governing real estate transactions.
