FAQs
Alabama real estate transactions commonly involve deeds, purchase agreements, lease agreements, and landlord-tenant forms. The right document depends on whether property is being sold, transferred as a gift, or rented.
Notarization is a standard requirement for deeds in Alabama. Most deeds also need to be recorded with the Probate Court in the county where the property is situated to provide public notice of the transfer.
Real property — also called real estate or immovable property — includes land, buildings, and fixtures permanently attached to the land. Personal property covers movable items that are not affixed to the real estate.
Verbal agreements can create a tenancy, but a written lease agreement is strongly advisable. A written document protects both the landlord and tenant by setting clear expectations for rent, duration, and responsibilities.
A life estate grants a person the right to use and occupy real property for the duration of their lifetime, after which ownership passes to a named remainderman. It is often used in estate planning to transfer property while allowing the original owner to remain in the home.
