FAQs

Real property includes land, buildings, and anything permanently attached to the earth — such as fixtures and appurtenances. Personal property is movable and not fixed to the land. The distinction matters in real estate transactions because only interests in real property are conveyed by deed and recorded with county records.

A deed can be valid between the grantor and grantee without recording, but recording it in the county clerk's office protects the new owner against later claims by third parties. Unrecorded deeds create title risks and can complicate future sales or financing.

A home sale generally involves a purchase agreement to set the terms, a deed to transfer title, and various disclosure and closing documents. Depending on the transaction, a deed of trust or mortgage may also be used to secure financing.

Arkansas landlords may collect a security deposit, and there are state guidelines on how deposits must be handled and returned after a tenancy ends. Using a written lease that spells out deposit terms helps both sides avoid disputes.

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of real property from one party to another. It covers the preparation and execution of deeds, review of title, and recording with the appropriate county office. Accurate conveyancing documents are the foundation of a clean property transfer.
