Re: Transfer a property

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

The Deed you need is a Quit Claim Deed. By executing the Deed you are giving up any claim of title to the Grantees who would be your nephew and his wife.

The Quit Claim Deed should be available on this sight or from a good office supply store althought I do not recommend completing it yourself. The DR-219 (Return for Transfer of Real Property) is available from the Clerk's Office recording section in the County in which you are recording the Quit Claim Deed.

Each lawyer sets his or her own fee schedule. The drafting of a Quit Claim Deed and DR-219 is a relatively simple matter and should not require more than nominal fee. In my office, I charge $150.00 to complete and record a Quit Claim Deed for clients and it can be done through the mail.
