Created a deed to transfer a property in my name to a living trust. The Grantee section has a blank for Marital Status, but this is a trust. What is the proper verbiage for the classification instead of marital status? Entity?

I have a home with structural issues and have found a renovator to repair it however we have worked out an agreement that he would rent the property for 2 years with a lease agreement. How do I minimize my liability due to the house needing repairs and me being the landlord?

My fiancé and I purchased a condominium together for the price of $325,000. I paid $299,000 and he paid $26,000. We had another financial arrangement concerning his investments and placing me on those, and he has not fulfilled the verbal agreement. In the event we do not stay together, I would like a quitclaim deed transferring the entire condo to my name solely. He has agreed with some provisions, which we will put in writing. Is there anything I should know?

I am co-owner of my home with a friend, and we are filed tenants in common. We are completing the transfer on death deed, where if something happened to either of us, the house would be transferred to the other. Would we have one document with both of us as beneficiaries, or do we need two separate documents, where each of us are individually the beneficiary?

The state of Hawaii rejected my Transfer on Death Deed because my signature does not include my middle name. But the notary hand-printed my full name on the notarized page, even though I signed using just the middle initial. My driver’s license is my ID. It also has my full name printed on it, but I signed it with just the middle initial. What is the best legal way to correct this? Is there a way to indicate that both ways are me?
