RESIDENTIAL
REAL ESTATE

The purchase and sale of real property, as well as adding or removing persons to or from the title to your real property, are not transactions that should be handled lightly or without the benefit of a knowledgeable real estate attorney.  The transfer of ownership of real property is not a one-size fits all proposition and can be accomplished by a variety of means including, for example, a fee simple deed, a life estate, or a trust, and in all cases should be documented with a proper real estate contract of sale.

PREPARING, EXECUTING, AND RECORDING A DEED TO YOUR REAL PROPERTY IS COMPLEX

WHAT WE WILL DO

Preparing, executing, and recording a deed to your real property is complex and can have important implications for both the grantor and grantee, including recordation and transfer taxes, capital gains taxes, and gift taxes. Transferring title to real estate can also involve and affect your estate plan and your business if you are starting a business, or your business is acquiring or transferring real estate.

 

The manner in which you convey and hold title to real property will also impact your exposure to potential liability and may have serious financial implications for you or your business. The complex interrelationship between your real property deed, your estate plan, and your business requires professional legal advice by skilled real estate attorneys who are also estate planning attorneys and business attorneys. 

 

Weaver & Fitzpatrick, P.A. will provide advice to transfer title to your property in a manner that best suits your unique situation and avoids unintended tax, liability, and estate consequences.
