Re: quick deed

Suggest that you locate a NC State fact sheet, on the Web, for the sale and transfer of real property, for the county where the property lies. Locate the NC Judiciary Site, on the Web, for a link or info to locate a NC lawyer that can assist you and your Dad.

However, you should note, Sales and transfers of real property in states outside of NY, (especially in southern states, ie., VA, NC, etc.), are not necessarily overseen by attorneys. In those states, real estate brokers, lenders, title companies, and others, now, more often than not, tend to entirely control those types of transactions.

Good luck,
