Our team at Gold Seal Notary will take care of all of the documents pertaining to your transaction. Our goal is to guide you through the process and answer your questions about the procedure to complete your transaction as smoothly as possible.

Conveyance is defined as an instrument that transfers an estate or interest in property from one person to another. Property could be residential or commercial real estate; a small business; or personal property. When buying real estate, at the closing of the transaction, a title transfer is completed to legally transfer ownership from the seller to the buyer. Other scenarios where a title transfer may also be required include: when a person wants to refinance their property; if there has been a separation between the parties who own the property; and/or if a property owner wants to add a spouse or other family member to title or remove a name from title.

Examples of real property conveyance: 

• Purchase of a marketed property for value 

• Refinancing a property

• Transfer from husband alone to husband and wife (usually no consideration –commonly referred to as a “family transfer”)

• Transmission to surviving joint tenant in the event of the death of one owner 

• Transfer from an individual to his or her corporate entity

• Transfer of a leasehold property 

• Transfer of a manufactured home
