FAQs

Most deeds and other conveyancing instruments require a notarized signature before they can be recorded with the county Register of Deeds. Notarization confirms the signer's identity and makes the document eligible for the public record.

Fee simple is the most complete form of real estate ownership — the owner holds the property outright and can sell or pass it on freely. A life estate limits the holder's rights to their lifetime; when they die, ownership passes automatically to a named remainderman.

A landlord may be entitled to apply the security deposit toward unpaid rent or damages caused by the tenant, but state law governs how deposits are held and returned. The specific rules on timing and itemization are worth reviewing with a local attorney.

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring title to real property from one party to another. It covers everything from the purchase agreement and title search to the deed execution and county recording.

Short-term verbal agreements may be recognized in some circumstances, but a written lease is strongly advisable. A written agreement creates a clear record of the rent, term, and each party's obligations, reducing the risk of misunderstandings or disputes.
