Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Hampshire

Re: Transferring a deed into a child's name

First, are you also retaining ownership but conveying part to daughter and son -in law? If so you must do a deed from you to yourself and daughter and son -in law. It costs about $115 including the recording fees at the Registry of deeds.

BUT before you do this you should talk to a lawyer because there are all kinds of pitfalls for the owner who could lose the property entirely.

Re: Transferring a deed into a child's name

Deed preparation is often a small expense. The real question is the purpose for the transfer. If it is a sale, then compliance with all state tax issues needs to be addressed. If there is a mortgage in place, then consent of the lender may be required. If it is a gift, caution needs to be exercised to make sure that any requirements of the Federal gift tax laws are observed. Review of your personal situation by an attorney would be a good idea.
