Legally compliant deed preparation and review
Guidance on appropriate deed type: quitclaim, bargain and sale with covenants, or custom instrument
Completion and filing of required GIT/REP state tax forms
Recording with the correct New Jersey County Clerk

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Deed Transfers in New Jersey

Do I need a lawyer to transfer property in New Jersey?
While New Jersey does not require an attorney to draft a deed, using a lawyer ensures compliance with state laws and avoids costly mistakes. Our firm handles the legal, tax, and recording aspects of the transfer.

What is the difference between a quitclaim deed and a bargain and sale deed?
A quitclaim deed transfers whatever interest the grantor has with no warranties. A bargain and sale deed with covenants offers limited warranties and is more commonly used in New Jersey. We will help you choose the appropriate deed type.

Once we receive the necessary information, most transfers are completed and recorded within 3–5 business days.
