It is not required to obtain an attorney or title company to amend a property deed but it is recommended. States establish laws that determine how real estate is titled, it is extremely important the owner(s) choose the best option of holding joint property to avoid future problems. The proper recording of the changed deed is equally important to make certain that it is considered a legal transference.

How do you change a sheriff's deed to a warranty deed?

You cannot change a sheriff's deed to a warranty deed. A sheriff's deed is given pursuant to some action by a creditor against a debtor and it never passes warranty covenents. The debtor may have a statutory period of redemption. The grantee may need to obtain a confirmatory deed from the debtor to obtain good title or have the title quieted by a court decree. You need to consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who can review the details and explain your options.
