Title to real property is transferred by a deed. The owner must execute a deed that names the family member as the grantee. The grantee is the new owner. If there is a mortgage on the property a transfer may trigger a "due on transfer" clause and the lender can demand full payment of the mortgage. There are many legal consequences that result from transferring title to real property to a family member. The property will become vulnerable to their creditors. The family dynamics may change. The grantor may want to reserve a life estate.

You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law and also has expertise in estate planning who can review your situation, your needs, your reasons for proposing the transfer and the legal consequences. Once you have been fully informed of your options and the consequences you can make an informed decision and the attorney can draft the proper documents.

DO you need a clear title before transfering the Deeds to a home?

The answer depends on the details. If the grantee, the person receiving title, must get approved for a mortgage then the lender will require a title examination and a clear title. If the transfer is going to a friend or family member with no consideration or is a cash deal, then the grantee may or may not arrange for a title examination. However, anyone taking title to real estate should have the title examined by a professional. They could be taking title to property with existing problems that will become their responsibility otherwise.
