Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about deed preparation and property transfers
What is the difference between a quitclaim deed and a warranty deed?
A quitclaim deed is used to add or remove someone's name on the title where they are simple changes with no guarantees on the title and transfer. Some states may record them but they may not be recognized as a valid transfer. A warranty deed provides greater protection as it contains language that makes promises regarding the conveyance of ownership along with any rights the property has with it.

A new deed will need to be prepared and recorded with the county. We would be happy to assist you; to begin the process, please start your deed order.
I am recently divorced and need to be removed (or remove former spouse) from existing deed - what needs to be done?
If an attorney was used for the divorce, you may want to verify if the attorney has already followed-through with the recording of the new deed. If not, a new deed will need to be prepared and recorded with the county. We would be happy to assist you; to begin the process, please start your deed order.

Can you handle complex joint tenancy and community property deed changes for estate plans?
Absolutely.

Our deed experts understand the nuances of each ownership type and ensure proper language is used to achieve your client's estate planning goals while maintaining step-up in basis advantages where applicable.
What documentation do you need from estate planners to prepare deeds for their clients?
We've streamlined our process for estate planning professionals. We need: (1) Current vesting deed or title report, (2) Trust name and date if transferring to trust, (3) Legal description of property, (4) Names of all parties involved in the transfer, and (5) Desired vesting language. We can work directly from your trust documents to ensure deed language matches trust provisions. Our online portal allows secure document upload and tracking of all client deed orders.
Do you provide title insurance coordination for estate planning deed transfers?
Yes, we coordinate with title insurance companies to ensure continuous coverage after deed transfers. We can obtain preliminary title reports, coordinate with existing title insurers for endorsements, and ensure that trust transfers don't trigger due-on-sale clauses. Our team understands the importance of maintaining title insurance coverage for your clients' assets and will work with their existing policies to ensure seamless transfers that preserve their protection.
Can you prepare beneficiary deeds and transfer-on-death deeds for estate planning?
Yes, we prepare beneficiary deeds (also known as transfer-on-death deeds) in states where they're recognized. These deeds allow property to transfer automatically upon death without probate, making them valuable estate planning tools. We ensure compliance with state-specific requirements including witness and notarization requirements, proper beneficiary designation language, and recording procedures. We can also prepare revocation deeds if your client's plans change.
Do you handle deed preparation for LLCs and family limited partnerships in estate plans?
Yes, we regularly prepare deeds transferring property to and from LLCs, family limited partnerships (FLPs), and other business entities used in estate planning. We understand the importance of proper deed language to maintain liability protection and achieve estate planning objectives. Our deeds include appropriate entity authority language and ensure transfers comply with operating agreements and partnership documents. We can also prepare deeds for series LLCs and other complex entity structures.
Can you assist with deed preparation for post-death administration and trust administration?
Absolutely. We assist estate planning attorneys with deed preparation during probate and trust administration. This includes preparing deeds from estates to beneficiaries, trustee's deeds for distribution from trusts, and deeds effectuating specific bequests. We understand the importance of proper documentation in post-death administration and ensure all deeds include appropriate death certificate recording information and comply with state requirements for estate and trust distributions.
How do you ensure client confidentiality for estate planning deed preparation?
We maintain strict confidentiality protocols for all estate planning deed work. Our systems are HIPAA-compliant and use bank-level encryption for document storage and transmission. We can execute confidentiality agreements with your firm and implement specific security procedures you require. All staff members handling estate planning deeds are trained in confidentiality requirements. We never share client information and can white-label our services so all communication appears to come from your firm.
Do you provide Prop 13 (California) and tax reassessment analysis for trust transfers?
Yes, for California properties, we provide comprehensive Prop 13 analysis to ensure trust transfers qualify for parent-child or grandparent-grandchild exclusions where applicable. We prepare and file Preliminary Change of Ownership Reports (PCORs) and applicable exclusion claims.

We also handle similar tax assessment issues in other states with comparable property tax limitations.
