If you are planning to buy a new property, you will need to get the Title Deed (Deed of Transfer) transferred into your name to prove that you are now the legal owner of the property. You need the assistance of an attorney specialising in property transfers (also known as a conveyancer) to help you transfer the Title Deed into your name.
You will only become the legal owner of the property when the Registrar of Deeds signs the transfer document.
