FAQ's

1. Do I need a lawyer to prepare a deed?

While it’s possible to prepare a deed without a lawyer, it’s highly recommended to consult a legal professional. Deeds are complex legal documents, and errors can lead to serious issues like invalid transfers or future disputes.

2. How do I know if there are any liens or encumbrances on a property?

A title search conducted by a legal professional or title company can reveal any liens, mortgages, easements, or other encumbrances affecting the property.

3. What are the tax implications of transferring property via deed?

Tax implications vary depending on the nature of the transfer (sale, gift, inheritance) and the jurisdiction. Potential taxes include capital gains, gift tax, or transfer taxes. Consulting with a tax professional is advisable.

4. What is a deed of trust?

A deed of trust is a document used in some states instead of a mortgage. It involves three parties: the borrower (trustor), the lender (beneficiary), and a neutral third party (trustee). The trustee holds the property title until the loan is paid.
