What is the judicial or recording district for the property?

City, Town, or Township

In , it is customary or required to include the name of the local jurisdiction where the property is located. This helps identify the property’s location more precisely. In this section, tell us the type and name of the local jurisdiction listed on your deed.

What type of local jurisdiction is listed on the deed?

Check the current deed or property documents to see how the local jurisdiction is labeled and select the option that matches what appears. For example, if the deed says “Town of Lexington,” select Town here and enter Lexington below.

What is the name of the city, town, or township?

Enter the name exactly as it appears in the prior deed or public records. For example, if the deed says “Town of Lexington,” select Town above and enter Lexington here.

Most properties have a mailing address assigned by the post office. If the property has an address, select Yes. If it does not (for example, undeveloped land or rural property without an assigned address), select No.

Yes

What is the property tax number or parcel ID for the property?

Full or Partial Ownership Transfer

The question below asks about whether the entire interest in the property is being transferred in this deed.

If all current owners are transferring everything they own, it’s considered a transfer of the entire property—even if each owner only holds a portion. If someone is keeping part of their ownership, or only transferring a share (like an undivided ½), it’s a partial interest transfer.

You can transfer all of the ownership or just a portion. Choose the option that matches what’s happening in this deed.

What portion of the property is being transferred?

The entire ownership interest in the property

A partial ownership interest (such as an undivided 1/2 or 1/3)

What is the fractional or percentage share of the property being transferred?

Enter the share being transferred in a simple format like 1/2, 1/3, or 50 percent.

We’ll use this information to describe the ownership interest being transferred. For guidance, imagine filling in the blank in this sentence:

“This document relates to an undivided ___ interest in the property.”

Be sure that the fractional or percentage interest fits that format. Don’t include extra words or symbols.

Form of Co-Ownership

How will the new owners co-own the property?

Joint tenancy with right of survivorship

Tenancy by the entirety

Community property

Tenancy in common

Should the deed include a right of survivorship?

Including a right of survivorship means that when one spouse dies, the other automatically owns the entire property without probate. This option is available only in community property states that allow community property with right of survivorship. If you don’t include it, the deceased spouse’s share will pass according to a will or state law instead.

Yes

Warranty of Title

Consideration

What will the current owner(s) receive in exchange for the property?

Gift (no consideration received)

Actual purchase price

Nominal ($10.00 and other good and valuable consideration)

Transfer to the business as a capital contribution

Transfer pursuant to divorce decree

Transfer to trust

Transfer from trust

Enter the actual purchase price

Under {:property_state_st:fallback} law, deeds must usually state that some value—called consideration—was given in exchange for the property. To satisfy this rule, your deed will recite that the property is transferred for “the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration.” This standard language is widely accepted in {:property_state_st:fallback} and is designed to meet the legal requirement.

If you do not state the purchase price in the deed, you may have to file an additional document when you record it. In {:property_state_st:fallback}, you must either list the actual purchase price on the deed or submit a separate {:informational_return_title:fallback} so the taxing authority can calculate the transfer tax. This {:informational_return_title:fallback} is usually simple and, in some states, required even if the deed lists the price. If you want to avoid filing the return, change your answer to include the actual purchase price of the property.
