WARNING: You should be careful about this kind of transfer of property. Make sure you understand the documents that you sign. You may still own interests in this property. If you sign the deed to transfer this property, you may be giving up all of your interests in this property, such as redemption rights and rights to ‘surplus funds.’ ‘Surplus funds’ are any extra money if the property is sold at the sheriff’s execution sale for more than what is owed on the property. If you have questions, talk to a lawyer before signing.
