A deed is a legal document that explains the ownership of a piece of real estate or a piece of property. When you go to purchase a home, you typically cannot buy the home outright. You must go to a bank to obtain a mortgage. Until a homeowner pays the mortgage in full, the bank holds the deed. Once you have the deed in your possession, you might want to sell the property. By doing so, the deed must be legally transferred from the current owner to the future owner without imperfections.

What Do I Need to Transfer the Title of a Deed? 

In most cases you will need to have a deed drafted who is transferring the property and to whom, and the legal description of the property.  When you go to purchase a home, you typically cannot buy the home outright. You must go to a bank to obtain a mortgage. Until a homeowner pays the mortgage in full, the bank holds the deed.

Once you have the deed in your possession, you might want to sell the property. By doing so, the deed must be legally transferred from the current owner to the future owner without imperfections. This is why it is important to have an experienced attorney draft and file the deed on your behalf.

At Herb & Winters Law we are your dedicated and experienced deed transfer attorneys. We handle deed transfers, property transfers, and other issues related to deeds. The manner in which a deed transfers owners is important. One false move could void the transfer. Legal counsel is often necessary for out of state deed transfers and complicated title exchanges. 

What are the Different Types of Title? 

There are several ways you can take title to real property in Pennsylvania and each has its own benefits and pitfalls:

• Individually: You can take title in your own name. However, if you are married, your spouse still has an interest in the property and will need to sign off on the property in a sale or other transfer.
• Joint tenancy: This is the most common form of title. All owners have an undivided interest in the property and a right of survivorship. This means that if there are two owners, and one passes away, the other owner has the right to the full property.
• Tenancy by the entireties: This is similar to joint tenancy but is only available to married couples. If one spouse passes away, the other spouse will have the right to the full property.
• Tenancy in common: There is no right of survivorship when a tenant in common passes away. Instead, each owner has an undivided but distinct right to an interest in the property, which can be inherited or sold as the owner wishes.
