Illinois Estate Law

Real Estate Deed Transfers

Flat-fee deed drafting and recording for Illinois property owners — Transfer on Death Instruments, quit claim deeds, warranty deeds, and more.

Transfer Property the Right Way

Whether you are adding a family member to a title, removing an ex-spouse, avoiding probate on your home, or correcting an error on an existing deed, the deed must be drafted correctly and recorded with the county — or it can create title problems that are expensive to undo.

We draft and record all types of Illinois real estate deeds for a flat fee. There are no hourly billing surprises, and we handle the recording with the county recorder so you do not have to.

Deed transfers are one of the most common estate planning and property planning tools — and one of the most commonly mishandled without an attorney.

Deed Types We Draft

Each deed type serves a different purpose. We help you select the right instrument and draft it correctly.

Transfer on Death Instrument (TODI)

Pass your Illinois home directly to a named beneficiary at death — without probate. You retain full ownership and control during your lifetime and can revoke or amend the TODI at any time.

Quit Claim Deed

Transfer whatever interest you hold in a property without warranty of title. Commonly used between spouses, family members, or co-owners to add or remove someone from title.

Warranty Deed

The standard deed in arm's-length real estate sales. The grantor warrants clear title and agrees to defend against any future claims — giving the buyer maximum protection.

Life Estate Deed

Retain the right to live in the property for life while transferring the remainder interest to a named person. At death, the property passes automatically to the remainderman without probate.

Joint Tenancy & Tenancy in Common

Convert how co-owners hold title — joint tenancy includes right of survivorship, while tenancy in common allows each owner to pass their share through a will or trust.

Corrective Deed

Fix errors in a previously recorded deed — misspelled names, incorrect legal descriptions, or other scrivener's errors that need to be corrected in the public record.
