Re: Family to family land transfer
The parcel does not have to be assessed for purposes of transferring the land to you and your wife unless your state imposes a transfer tax. A quick claim deed will suffice to transfer ownership of the land to your wife and you, however it does not guarantee that you own the land free and clear of any incumbences.
