Tax Transfer
Real estate transfer tax is an excise tax on transactions involving the sale of real property where title to the property is transferred from the seller to the buyer. Before a deed, security. When these assets are transferred from the name of the person who died (“the decedent”) to someone else (“the beneficiary”), the State of New Jersey may impose a tax on this “transfer” of ownership. The amount of tax imposed depends on several factors: Who the beneficiaries are and how they are related to the decedent.

Calculate Real Estate Transfer Tax Rates
Property transfer tax is an assessment charged by both the State of Michigan and the individual county. When you transfer real estate, they charge a fee as a percentage of the sales price. The seller is responsible for this fee unless it is otherwise agreed to be paid by the buyer. This fee is reported on a document called a 'Real Estate Transfer Valuation Affidavit'.
