Transferring a deed is as simple as changing the name on the original deed. Deed transfer forms are available online from many different do-it-yourself legal websites. A quitclaim deed may be the simplest type of deed transfer here, as no warranties are implied in a quitclaim deed. However, filling out any type of deed transfer form requires you to follow appropriate steps in regards to conveying the deed and your daughter’s acceptance of the deed. Furthermore, the deed transfer form and the new deed must be filed with the county clerks office in many jurisdictions in order for there to be a presumption that the transfer took place. For more information, you should speak to a qualified real estate attorney who can provide you with guidance on completing a deed transfer form and on the options available to you to transfer the deed to your daughter.
