FAQs
New Jersey real estate transactions use several deed types depending on the situation. Bargain and sale deeds are common in standard sales, while quitclaim deeds are often used for transfers between family members or to resolve title issues. Life estate deeds and enhanced life estate arrangements are used in estate planning contexts.
Leases for a term longer than one year generally need to be in writing to be enforceable. Month-to-month rental agreements can be oral, though a written agreement protects both landlord and tenant by documenting the agreed terms.
Real property — also called real estate or immovable property — includes land, buildings, and anything permanently affixed to the land, such as fixtures and appurtenances. Personal property is movable and not attached to the land, like furniture or equipment.
Many real estate documents, particularly deeds, require notarization before they can be recorded with the county clerk. It is a good idea to check the specific signing requirements for any document before finalizing it.
Many straightforward real estate forms — leases, simple deeds between family members, disclosure statements — are completed without an attorney every day. For complex transactions, title disputes, or anything involving significant assets, consulting a New Jersey real estate attorney is a sensible step.
