Re: transfering property
It's fairly straight forward, assuming you know of any consequences of the transfer, such as tax events, etc. Assuming you are aware of anything like that, the following is the most typical way of tranferring property that is not mortgaged.
Step one: determine the present owner of the house (who is in title, and how they got to be in title)
Step two: correct any title deficiencies
Step three: draft a warranty deed transferring the interest to you, and have the titled owners sign off on it.
Step four: file it with the appropriate county clerk.
Again, you need to check for any adverse consequences in advance.
