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.
