Deeds for Estate Planning

Deeds for Estate Planning

It’s evident that even a well-designed estate plan can be inefficient if no proper steps or re-titling assets, including real property, has been done. And upon the death, the property must be distributed in conformity with the plan.

But when the property is situated outside of the County that you typically practice in, it can be a time-consuming and complex job to get it done. We find that many of the Estate Planning Attorneys that we work with prefer not to have to spend their valuable time and resources on trying to learn and get through the process of trying to draft the deed with all the specific corresponding affidavits and forms necessary for recording, correctly calculate transfer and recordation taxes, obtain and timely clear all appliable County, City, and Town Lien Certificates, and properly get the deed on record in the applicable County or City Land Records Department. We understand that it can be difficult to track down a real estate attorney in the area to refer your deed work over to as you must spend time vetting out potential referral sources based on questions such as (1) is the fee reasonable (2) How much will they charge my client? (3) is this attorney competent and efficient in drafting and recording deeds in this particular County or City? Furthermore, general real estate attorneys or law firms are oftentimes pre-occupied with high priority matters such as settlements or litigation, resulting in deed transactions becoming secondary. We offer a simple and efficient solution.
