What is a deed?

A deed is a legal document that indicates ownership or transfers ownership of any real estate from the seller to the buyer. For deeds to be legal there are a few requirements. All deeds must be in some legible form of written type. This can include both physical and electronic copies of the document. But, in order for a deed to be contractual, it must be in writing. Deeds must also be signed by all property owners.

Deed transfer process

When transferring real estate in Wisconsin, all sellers must submit a Real Estate Transfer Return document to get the transfer approved. This requires clear communication tailored to the letter of the law. Tusler Law can handle this for you. We also will take care of organizing the legal delivery process in which someone with the proper authority must legally deliver the deed to the grantee.

Wisconsin deed of trust legal guidance

Tusler Law provides legal advice and guidance for those considering or acquiring a deed of trust. A deed of trust is a type of secured real estate transaction which is similar to a mortgage. A deed of trust requires three parties: a lender, a borrower, and a trustee. The trustee receives the deed from the borrower. The borrower receives money from the lender, and the borrower gives a promissory note to the lender who will receive the deed from the trustee in event of loan default. Ron Tusler will walk you through this complicated process, ensure fair treatment, and help you understand the terms of the legal contract.
