Property Ownership Transfer Guide

Summary

Transferring property ownership in Missouri involves signing a new title or deed, notarizing it, and recording it at the County Recorders Office. Transferring a title does not automatically transfer the debt; the existing loan must be paid off or the lender must approve a loan assumption. Consult a local real estate attorney for personalized guidance.
