FAQBefore you buy
No. The kit is educational information to help you understand and complete a NYC deed recording yourself. It is not legal, tax, or title advice, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship. When in doubt, consult a licensed attorney.
Which boroughs does it cover?
All five. Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens record through ACRIS online; Staten Island records in person at the Richmond County Clerk. The kit explains both.
Do I still need a lawyer?
Often not, for a simple family, gift, or cash transfer with clear ownership. If there is a mortgage, liens, a title dispute, or an unresolved estate, the kit tells you to stop and get help.
What if I get stuck or want it done for me?
You can hand it to us any time. We record your deed through ACRIS for a flat $350, and the kit shows you exactly how to start.
How do I get the kit?
It is an instant PDF download after checkout. One-time $39, yours to keep.
