A deed does more than transfer property— it can affect probate, taxes, Medicaid eligibility, and what happens to the property after death. Even small errors in legal descriptions, ownership language, or how title is transferred can lead to unintended consequences or require costly corrections. In some situations, transferring property the wrong way can disrupt an otherwise well-designed estate plan. Online forms and “do-it-yourself” documents often fail to account for your circumstances. What works for one family may be completely wrong for another. Before signing or recording a deed, it is important to understand the legal and financial impact of the transfer. Schedule an appointment to ensure your deed is prepared correctly and works with your estate plan. From the Attorney’s Desk by Jason Krautkramer, J.D.
