Transferring property ownership in Tennessee requires completing and filing a deed transfer, such as a quitclaim or warranty deed. Steps include:
- Drafting a deed that clearly names the new owner.
- Having the deed notarized and signed by all parties.
- Filing the deed with the register of deeds in the county where the property is located.
Keep in mind that property transfers may have tax implications. Consulting a real estate attorney can help ensure the transfer is legally sound, and your family member can claim rightful legal ownership.

My deceased Grandparents had a house in Memphis that they left to my Dad and Aunt (both deceased) There are 9 Grandchildren (3 deceased) to which I am the only one wanting the property. I have paid all the back taxes and had the house demolished as per the city requirement How do I get the property transferred to my name. One deceased Grandchild has one daughter in Canada (14 yrs old)
