Merge Legal New York Warranty Forms For Free

A New York general warranty deed, also known as a ?deed with full covenants,? is a document used to transfer the ownership of real estate. The deed provides a warranty from the seller (grantor) that the title is clean, and that if any unforeseen claims to it arise, the seller will defend the buyer.

The fees involved in filing a quitclaim deed depend on the type of real estate being transferred. Filing a deed for a farm or residential property typically costs $125 and $250 for other types of property. There may be additional fees involved when filing your forms.

Whatever the reason, you will need to retain an attorney, experienced in real estate, to draft a new deed conveying (i.e., transferring) your home to yourself and the person you wish to add to your title. In addition to the deed, your attorney will also need to prepare transfer tax returns.

To change a deed in New York City, you will need a deed signed and notarized by the grantor. The deed must also be filed and recorded with the Office of the City Register. Transfer documents identifying if any taxes are due must also be filed and recorded with the City Register.

The signed original RP-5217-PDF must accompany all deeds and correction deeds upon filing with the Recording Officer. A filing fee is also required. Limited data items (date of Sale, full sale price, spelling error, etc) may require a change AFTER the form is filled and signed.

A quitclaim deed transfers ownership interest from one party to another without warranties or guarantees. It's the easiest and quickest way to transfer real estate ownership to a family member. However, it comes with risks as it does not provide any protection against claims or liens against the property.
