How do you transfer property?

You would need to do a title search - this can be done by a title company or by a paralegal or attorney who does this type of thing on a daily basis. You can do it yourself but if a title company does it they will give you the official insurable information you need.

There must be no judgments or liens against the property for there to be clear title. If there are judgments or liens, those must be satisfied prior to being able to sell a piece of propoerty.
