Most of us understand that when you buy or sell a property in Nassau County, Hempstead, Hewlett, Valley Stream, Long Island, NY, and the surrounding areas, a deed transfer is required to update the deed to the name of the new owners. But this is just one circumstance where a deed transfer can happen, and there are several others. While it is tempting to handle the project yourself, it is better to work with the Law Offices of Aaron I. Katsman, P.C. to ensure all details are done properly. For example, you may want to gift a piece of property to a family member, but how should you handle this? In other cases, moving a property into a living trust is desired for those who are aging and want to avoid probate. Marriages and divorces can also make deed transfers an issue, and if things aren’t recorded properly there could be ramifications down the road. Instead, keep things easy by using one of our property attorneys and ensure things are done correctly. Contact us today to start the process with one of our property lawyers.
What Will an Attorney Do for Deed Transfers
For a deed transfer, our team will make sure that the legal description is accurate for the deed as it is. If there are issues with this, it is best to tackle those now instead of perpetuating an issue into the future. Proper recording of the deed transfer is also important so that the county will have the correct record of the transfer. Our attorneys can also do a title search to make sure that there are no liens, mortgages, or other encumbrances on the title.
The circumstances of a deed transfer can vary in many ways. It might be as simple as correcting errors or inaccuracies on the deed to prevent future issues when the property is transferred. Other times a deed transfer is done for asset protection, such as moving a property into an LLC, or when an inheritance happens from the death of a family member.
Legal Protections When Working with an Attorney
Property is a large investment, and doing things properly is important to prevent issues. An attorney can help to ensure that all legal descriptions and more are correct, preventing a transfer from being deemed invalid due to errors. If there are any issues with the title, your attorney is able to get those resolved. Your attorney can also make sure that the right type of deed is used for your needs, from a transfer-on-death deed, to a quitclaim deed or other needs.
