How do I transfer ownership of real property to another person?
A person can convey their interest in real property by way of a deed. There are different types of deeds, including a warranty and quit claim deed. An attorney can help you determine the desired type of ownership of a specific property, and whether a person would like to property to pass automatically to another person, like their children (through survivorship). A property can be held as tenants by the entirety, which is common for married couples, or as tenants in common, where each tenant holds a separate interest. It is important to consult an attorney as to which type of deed and ownership would best suit your intended objectives.
