FAQ
How do I add or remove a name on my present deed? To change the ownership on a property you will have to prepare a new deed which conveys the property to the intended owners and record that new deed at the Registry of Deeds.
Technically, anyone can make up a new deed, but we strongly advise you to hire a lawyer to do it. If you are doing it for the first time it is easy to make a mistake that could jeopardize your ownership of the property. Once the new deed is created, signed and notarized, it should be recorded at the Registry of Deeds.
Yes, you can make your own Grant Deed. A lawyer is not required to prepare a valid and enforceable deed.
Change of Name A current property owner can use any legal name change document to change the owner(s) of record name(s). The legal document from the Probate and Family Court Department reflecting this change will be recorded at the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds.
May I make out my own deed? Yes you may, however, we always recommend consulting an attorney regarding property transfers and changes, because minor changes in the wording of the document can completely change the legal meaning of the document.
How long does a name change take? The time frame for completing a name change on a deed can vary by state and county. Once you have all the necessary documents, filing with the county recorder's office can be relatively quick, often within a few weeks to a few months.
Massachusetts law does not require deeds to be prepared by attorneys. Just as individuals can represent themselves in Court, individuals can prepare deeds and other legal documents. A defective deed may not properly transfer title, and may create a title defect that must be corrected.
Title transfer in Massachusetts is the legal process of transferring ownership of real property. This is formalized through a deed, which is signed by the current owner (grantor) and given to the new owner (grantee).
