Each week this office receives several inquiries from homeowners seeking to transfer title to their property. The scenarios include transferring title between spouses, between ex-spouses, between and among family members, transferring title to a revocable trust, transferring title to a LLC or corporation, and the list goes on. Their two main questions are:
1) Who do I hire to prepare and record the deed and transfer forms?
2) How much will it cost me?
The first question is simple since you should hire a licensed real estate attorney or a local title company to handle a title transfer. The second question is not simple and, in fact, can be very complicated when determining such things as “no consideration” vs. “consideration” transfers.
