Long Island, NY Deed Transfer Attorney

We are experienced deed transfer attorneys and have handled numerous deed transfers. Contact us today to discuss a deed transfer.
The way in which a deed is held will drastically affect the owner’s rights during their lifetime and at death. In New York, a deed can be held as a tenancy in common, joint tenancy, or tenancy by the entirety. When transferring a deed, it is important to seek the advice of an attorney that is fully familiar with the various ways in which a deed can be held.
