Enter Title Deed For Free

The California TOD deed form allows property to be automatically transferred to a new owner when the current owner dies, without the need to go through probate. It also gives the current owner retained control over the property, including the right to change his or her mind about the transfer.

Today, Californians most often transfer title to real property by a simple written instrument, the grant deed. The word ?grant? is expressly designated by statute as a word of conveyance. (Civil Code Section 1092) A second form of deed is the quitclaim deed.

As a homeowner, you have the ability to execute a quitclaim deed to change ownership, and you don't need to refinance the mortgage loan to file a quitclaim deed. Filing a quitclaim deed will change only the property's ownership and title, not anything regarding the loan.

The Process of Transferring Property Identify the recipient or donee. Discuss the terms and conditions of the transfer with that person. Complete a change of ownership form. Change the title on the deed. Hire a real estate attorney to prepare the deed. Notarize and file the deed.

Getting the name changed on your deeds is an easy process and you do not need to involve a solicitor. Generally there is no fee to pay either. You simply need to send a letter to the Land Registry office requesting the name change, together with either the original or a certified copy of your marriage certificate.

Both types of legal documents serve the same function of transferring ownership of real property. The fundamental difference between quitclaim deeds and grant deeds is the level of protection and warranty provided to the grantee.
