Property deeds are an essential legal document when buying and selling a home in New Jersey. However, there is no such thing as a generic deed. Attorneys must take care that the deed language conveys the property to the parties as intended by the buyer and the seller.
Join us for an in-depth look at important items to ensure a smooth transfer of title – what a deed should contain, where and when it is recorded and common pitfalls that arise when a deed is improperly drafted or recorded.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Types of deeds- which deed for which situation?
- Quitclaim, bargain and sale, warranty deeds, deeds in lieu of foreclosure - Statutory requirements
- Does a deed need to be in writing?
- Requirements for preparation
- Types of clauses in a property deed
- New Jersey Recording Act and the Statute of Frauds
- Who is taking title and in what form? - The important distinctions
-Tenants in common, joint tenants, tenants by the entirety - What should I do if the deed was not registered?
- Pitfalls and safeguards
- Quit claim deeds- are they the end all or be all?
- Transferring to an LLC
- Identity of parties
- Signatures and remote notarization
- Fraudulent deed transfers, especially vacant land
- Bargain and sale deeds without covenants - And more
