Deed Transfer
in New York City
Deed transfer NYC
Most people are familiar with the process of selling property. With a car, for example, one simply signs over the title. Because of that, transferring a deed may seem simple at first glance. This, however, could not be further from the truth. Deeds are the ultimate evidence of real property ownership that carry significant legal and financial consequences. A simple mistake in a legal description on a deed could lead to serious consequences years in the future. Quite simply, transferring title by a deed should never be done without the assistance of an attorney.
Real Estate Attorney NYC
Litigation involving improperly or mistakenly drafted deeds is commonplace. Oftentimes, when sales or gifts of property are between family members or friends, people draft the deeds themselves. If the property is ever sold to a third-party, however, or if another family member contests the sale, an improperly drafted deed can have serious consequences. Fixing these issues years down the road may be difficult if the parties have died or can no longer be located. A few minutes of work from a deed transfer lawyer now can save countless headaches in the future.
