Transfer Of Equity

Understanding the Transfer of Equity:

Transfer of equity refers to the process of changing the ownership of a property. This can involve adding or removing individuals from the property title, changing the percentage ownership shares, or transferring ownership to a trust or company. Common scenarios where the transfer of equity may occur include:

1. Adding a spouse or partner to the property title after marriage or cohabitation.
2. Removing an ex-partner from the property title following separation or divorce.
3. Transferring ownership to family members, such as children or parents.
4. Adding or removing co-owners for investment or estate planning purposes.
