Frequently Asked Questions
A deed is a document that conveys, or transfers, title in real property to another. It must meet all legal requirements and must be notarized. Additional requirements for transferring real property apply depending upon the location of the property.
Gifts of real property are common. A deed that meets all legal requirements must be used. In Washington state, the transfer may be subject to real estate excise tax depending upon the circumstances. Lucent Law evaluates and consults with our client about the potential tax consequences of each deed transfer we handle.
Lucent Law’s deed packages are not intended to be used to complete sales. Our deed packages are for things like adding or removing someone from title, gifting property, or adding property to a trust or LLC where no money is changing hands. Sales are much more complicated transactions. We recommend that sales only happen under the terms of a written purchase and sale agreement, and that the deed to complete the sale be prepared and recorded by an attorney or escrow agent as part of a closing. Lucent Law offers both purchase and sale agreement packages and real estate closing services.
Lucent Law offers free notary services with all of our deed packages in our two conveniently located Spokane offices. We can arrange for mobile notary services to come to your home or workplace for an additional fee (subject to availability).
Lucent Law includes a recording service (electronic where available) with all of our deed packages. We’ve recorded thousands of deeds and we know all of the technical requirements to prevent rejection by the recorder’s office. We’ve found that our clients are better served where we handle the recording of the deed and the filing of the Real Estate Excise Tax Affidavit (in Washington).
Deeds are a surprisingly complex area of real estate law. There are many considerations in any given transfer, such as: how do the current owners hold title; how do the intended owners wish to hold title; are there any mortgages or other liens on the property; are there any transfer taxes payable; are there estate planning or medicaid planning implications?
We are here for all of your real estate law needs.
