Re: Transfer of deed
Not necessarily. A person may prepare a deed to transfer his or her own property, Ala. Code section 34-3-6 (1975). However, he may not prepare a deed for another person.
Re: Transfer of deed
I read the answer that the other lawyer gave you and am writing to tell you a couple other things. Both the buyer and the seller should be careful about a number of things, but especially a buyer. Some people who do these things without a lawyer do not know that the chain of title needs to be reviewed. Buying a person's real estate could also cause them to actually buy liens, judgments, or other incumbrances. Some of these things follow the property, and not necessarily the person. Consulting with an attorney is really important.
