REMOVAL OF NAMEs on Pennsylvania Deeds This service is available any time during the divorce proceeding. The steps to complete this simple $150 name removal process are: Send us a clear copy of the present deed as recorded (do not send the original) Tell us whether the husband's or wife's name is being removed.

Both the seller and the buyer each pay their share of closing costs in Pennsylvania, as they do in all states. Often, sellers pay more in closing costs than buyers because they typically cover real estate commissions, which can run up to 6 percent of the final sale price.

Include three certified checks: One to the Recorder of Deeds for $256.75, One to the City for 3.278% of the sale price (plus any assumed debt), and. One to the Commonwealth for 1% of the sale price (plus any assumed debt).

The PA deed transfer tax is generally about 2% of the final sales price, which consists of two different sets of fees: The state of Pennsylvania charges 1% of the sales price. The locality charges a second fee usually totaling about 1%, which is split between the municipality and school district.

For the corrective deed to be valid, all parties who signed the erroneous deed must sign the corrective deed in the presence of a notarial official. If the grantor is married, Arizona requires that both spouses sign the deed (A.R.S. 33-452).

Reformation of Deed To reform or change a deed, the parties to the deed must bring a legal action before a circuit court requesting that the court “fix” the deed by issuing a judgment or order stating the original intent of the parties, and what needs to be legally changed.

However, once a document or deed is recorded, it cannot be altered or changed in any way. A new deed is needed and can be prepared for you by your attorney.
