How a Transfer Occurs

The transfer of title to real property is almost always done through a document called a deed. On occasion, transfer of title happens by operation of law, such as when a married couple holds title to property together, and one spouse dies. In that situation, a deed is not needed to transfer title to the surviving spouse.

Two other ways that a title to real property can be transferred include:

• Device in a person’s last will and testament
• Certificate of title issued by a court as part of a foreclosure

Most often, it is a deed between buyer and seller which transfers the title of ownership to a piece of real estate. There are different types of deed transfers, including:

• Quit claim deeds
• General warranty deeds
• Special warranty deeds
• Deeds of trust
• Deeds of release
• Beneficiary deeds
