Questions answered? Let's get started!

Use this form to sell/buy a property, there is NO financing, just a down payment received then balance due at closing. On this date, the buyer pays the purchase price (minus any deposits or earnest money already paid), the seller transfers ownership of the property to the buyer, and both parties sign all necessary documents. This date is agreed upon by both the buyer and the seller and specified in the contract.
Key aspects of the closing date include:
1. Timing: It is usually set a few weeks to a few months after the contract is signed,
Closing Process: Transfer of Ownership. At the closing, the Seller will transfer all of its ownership of the property to the Buyer via Deed. The Seller represents that it has never sold or transferred any of its right title or interest in the Property or done anything to encumber same. The Seller agrees that it shall do nothing between now and the time of Closing to sell or transfer any of its right title or interest in the Property or do anything to encumber same.

2. Adjustments: Sometimes, the closing date may need to be adjusted if there are delays in meeting contingencies or other unforeseen issues.

Relevant statutes and general principles that apply:
1. Title 46:2A - Recording of Instruments: 46:2A-1: Requires the recording of real property conveyances, including contracts for deed, to be recorded in the county where the property is located. This provides public notice and helps protect the buyer's interest in the property.

I downloaded the quit claim deed form and saved it on my computer. I opened it with Adobe and filled it out. The space for the legal description was too small (2 lines only) which did not allow enough room for the long property description that I had.

The forms download was quick and easy. The example deed was excellent. However, the payment method should include PayPal, not just credit cards.
