New Jersey Attorney Involvement You do not need to be an attorney to conduct a search, perform an examination of title or conduct settlement functions. Title agents are however prohibited from the unauthorized practice of law and non attorneys may not prepare deeds. N.J.S.A. B-13.
For a deed to be legal, it must state the name of the buyer and the seller, describe the property being transferred, and include the signature of the party transferring the property. In addition to being either official or private, deeds are classified as general warranty, special warranty, or quitclaim.
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.
To do this, you must create a new deed that conveys an interest in the property to this other person. Technically, anyone can make up a new deed, but we strongly advise you to hire a lawyer to do it.
If the deed has been recorded then you can get a copy of the deed from the county recorder of deeds. If it has not yet been recorded and it has been lost then there is no way of replacing a lost deed. A new deed would have to be prepared and signed by the grantor. Another possibility is a suit to quiet title.
Where to Get a Deed of Trust? To get a Deed of Trust, you must file the proper paperwork with the proper court as generally outlined above. These documents must be filed with the county clerk or recorder, and the lender typically sends them to the recording office after the property closing.
While it is not legally required to have an attorney, it is highly recommended to consult with a real estate attorney when dealing with deed transfers in New York and New Jersey. An attorney can ensure that the transfer is conducted correctly, protect your interests, and address any legal issues that may arise.
A deed is an official document, recorded at the county level. A new deed has to be recorded to add or delete anyone from the official record of ownership. We recommend that you seek legal assistance from an attorney or title company specializing in property transactions.
