While it’s possible, it isn’t usually recommended. Before transferring a real estate deed, an owner has to resolve all mortgages, tax and judgment liens, and any other debts and encumbrances. Because a lot goes into the assurances of a cloud-free title, it’s best to seek professional assistance. If you’re unsure about how to handle a deed transfer, consult with a real estate attorney before proceeding. Having someone with credentials in your corner when you transfer or receive any type of real estate deed is always a wise decision.
