What Is A Property Transfer?
A property transfer refers to the legal process of changing ownership of a property or land. This may involve transferring full ownership, adding or removing a name from the title, or dealing with property as part of a wider transaction.
Some common reasons for property transfers include the following:
- Buying or selling residential property
- Transfer of equity
- Divorce or separation
- Inheritance or probate matters
- Gifting property
Each type of transfer comes with its own legal requirements, documentation, and potential risks. Engaging experienced property transfer solicitors like ours at Johnson Astills ensures that the process is completed correctly and efficiently.
