Property transfers refer to the legal process of changing ownership of real estate or personal property from one party to another. This can occur through various means, such as sales, gifts, or inheritance. The transfer typically involves a written agreement, often called a deed, which outlines the terms and conditions of the transfer. During a property transfer, important documents must be filed with local government offices to ensure the new ownership is officially recognized. This process may also involve a title search to confirm that the property is free of liens or claims. Properly executed property transfers help protect the rights of both the buyer and the seller.
