Re: Transfering title of property
If you're talking about Real Estate and you want to transfer it immediately you would use a Deed.
If you're talking about transferring property upon his death you could address it in his Will.
The Deed would be recorded at the County the property is located in.
Re: Transfering title of property
That depends on your situation. Does your dad have capacity to execute documents or is there a guardian involved? Is this a straight sale or something else? What is the reason for the transfer? If you are doing it to get some kind of benefit (tax, medical assistance, something else) there could be a look back period or title requirements that needs to be addressed. How is it currently titled? These are just a few of the questions that immediately come to mind.
