Best Answer

Real property is conveyed when the owner signs a deed and hands the deed over to the grantee. This is technically distinguished from real property being "sold". A property is "sold" when the contract of sale is signed and becomes effective. It is conveyed when the deed is delivered to the grantee. In order to be effective against the world the deed must be recorded.

Clarification

However, if the sale is never completed by the execution of a deed, one cannot say the property was sold. Many, many property "sales" fall through due to contingencies and unexpected circumstances so the "distinction" made above is not the operative factor in the transfer of property.

How to record ownership in trust?

Land is conveyed to a trust by virtue of a deed that transfers the title to the land to the trustee(s) of the trust. In some jurisdictions a trust that holds title to real estate must be recorded in the land records. In some jurisdictions the only evidence of the trust required is a certificate at the time of a conveyance by the trustee that the trust is in effect and that the trustee has the authority to convey the real estate. The trustee holds legal title to any real estate conveyed to the trust. Therefore any property conveyed to the trust should be granted as follows: to Sheila McCarthy as the Trustee of the Rexford Realty Trust under a Declaration of Trust dated June 6, 2008.
