Services We Offer
Deed Into Trust
Moving your home or property into a revocable or irrevocable trust is a common step in estate planning. We prepare and record a new deed transferring title from you individually into your trust, ensuring the trust name, trustees, and grantors are correctly reflected on the recorded document.
What we’ll need from you: your fully executed trust agreement (and certification, if available), the full legal name and date of your trust, and confirmation of your trustees and grantors.
Deed of Gift
When you’re transferring property to another person without payment in return — for example, a parent gifting a home to a child — a Deed of Gift documents the transfer clearly and correctly for the land records.
What we’ll need from you: the legal names of the person gifting the property and the recipient, your relationship to one another, whether the transfer is full or partial, and information on any existing mortgage.
Transfer on Death (TOD) Deed
A TOD Deed allows your property to pass directly to a named beneficiary when you pass away — without going through probate. You retain full ownership and control of the property during your lifetime; your beneficiary has no rights to it until then.
What we’ll need from you: the beneficiary’s full legal name, relationship, and address, and a backup beneficiary if you’d like one named.

Good to Know Before You Call
To help us determine whether we can move forward quickly, be prepared to answer:
Certain situations — such as uncertain ownership, pending litigation, an incapacitated owner, competing family interests, or transfers connected to divorce, elder care, or Medicaid planning — require attorney review before we can proceed. If any of these apply to your situation, one of our attorneys will follow up with you directly.
