Fill Title Deed For Free

?Adding someone to a deed? means transferring ownership to that person. The transfer of ownership can occur during life (with a regular quitclaim deed, for example) or at death (using a lady bird deed, transfer-on-death-deed, or life estate deed).

You can do this through a transfer of equity. This is where a share of equity is transferred to one or multiple people, but the original owner stays on the title deeds. You'll need a Conveyancing Solicitor to complete the legal requirements for you in a transfer of equity.

If you want to transfer real estate in Illinois to a relative or a friend, you might consider doing this yourself by using a quitclaim deed. A quitclaim deed in Illinois is often used to transfer property between close family members or trusted friends.

Must contain the name of the person giving (Grantor) and the person receiving (Grantee). Must state in the document that you are conveying/granting/quitclaiming the property. Must have the correct property identification ? usually the legal description or at least the property address.

Typically, homeowners can get a copy of their property deed by visiting their county deeds office. Cook County, Illinois' property records are easily searchable online through a property index number (known as a PIN) or a street address.

Having your name on a deed by itself does not affect your credit.

Total fees for this service ranges from $360 for townships that don't require a municipal transfer stamp to $800+ for municipalities that do require a transfer stamp.
