Convert To Jpg Legal Montana Real Estate Closings Forms For Free

For convenience and simplicity in estate planning, Montana law allows for transfer on death deeds (TOD deeds)?a deed, executed and recorded during the lifetime of the grantor(s), which allows real property to pass to the designated beneficiaries outside of probate.

A Montana deed is a legal document used to transfer land and real estate in the State of Montana. The deeds must have the name and address of the grantor and grantee as well as the legal description of the property being transferred. In addition, a notary must sign an acknowledgment that the deed was properly signed.

A Montana quitclaim deed is a type of deed that transfers the owner's interest with no warranty of title. The person who signs a quitclaim deed transfers to the new owner all interests the signer holds in the property as of the date of the deed.

The new owner or other person who wishes to record a Montana deed submits the original deed to the county clerk and recorder's office for the county where the property is located. A recorded deed serves as constructive notice of the transfer to later purchasers and creditors.

Whenever property is sold or gifted, a deed must be executed by the person or entity transferring ownership, the ?grantor,? and recorded with the Clerk and Recorder in the county where the property is located. The grantor will also need to file a Realty Transfer Certificate and pay the recording fee ($8 per page).

Online legal documents can be out of date, inaccurate or downright wrong which makes them flawed and could be legally rejected. "While a form may be OK, it may not be recognized, depending on the institution and the person behind the desk there," said a estate planning attorney from New York.
