Ownership transfer paper

A land deed is a legal document that transfers ownership of real property from one party to another.

It identifies the property, names the buyer and seller, and bears signatures that make the transfer official.

Deeds are recorded with local government to establish public record of ownership: The land deed showed the property had been in the family since 1920.
