Property Transfers and Real Estate

Arkansas Property Transfers and Real Estate Lawyer

Arkansas Deed Preparation, Title Cures, and Real Estate Support

Most real estate problems in Arkansas are not dramatic.

They are technical.

A missing signature.
A bad legal description.
An heir who was never probated.
A trust that was funded incorrectly.
A mineral interest sitting in suspense.

That’s where I come in.

I am an Arkansas real estate attorney with over 20 years of experience preparing deeds, curing title issues, and assisting out-of-state attorneys, lenders, and title companies with Arkansas property.

If it involves Arkansas dirt — surface or minerals — I can help.

Call 501-251-1076 to discuss your Arkansas property transfer needs.


Arkansas Deed Preparation

A properly drafted deed is not just paperwork — it protects title for decades.

I regularly prepare:

  • Warranty Deeds

  • Special Warranty Deeds

  • Quitclaim Deeds

  • Trustee’s Deeds

  • Personal Representative’s Deeds

  • Beneficiary Deeds

  • Mineral Deeds

  • Corrective Deeds

  • Deeds into Revocable Living Trusts

If you are transferring Arkansas property into a trust, to heirs, or between family members, the deed must be drafted correctly and recorded properly to avoid future title defects.

I prepare deeds for clients across all Arkansas counties, including rural property and mineral interests.


Deeds to Revocable Living Trusts (Out-of-State Estate Planning Support)

A significant portion of my practice involves assisting:

  • Out-of-state estate planning attorneys

  • Trust and estate firms

  • Wealth advisors

  • Probate attorneys

When your client owns Arkansas real estate or Arkansas mineral rights, you need local counsel to properly:

  • Draft and record deeds into a revocable living trust

  • Confirm correct legal descriptions

  • Address homestead and spousal considerations

  • Ensure compliance with Arkansas recording requirements

I work efficiently with out-of-state firms to “knock out” Arkansas transfers cleanly and without unnecessary delay.

If you are an estate planning attorney needing Arkansas local counsel, I am available to assist.


Arkansas Mineral Rights Transfers

Arkansas mineral interests require careful handling.

Small mineral tracts passed down through generations often have:

  • Incomplete probate

  • Incorrect heirship

  • Suspense royalties

  • Unrecorded transfers

I regularly prepare:

  • Mineral deeds

  • Beneficiary deeds for mineral interests

  • Deeds into trusts

  • Title corrective instruments

Because I also practice oil and gas law, I understand how mineral title is examined by operators and land departments — and I draft deeds accordingly.


Title Cures & Insurability Issues

Title companies and lenders sometimes discover problems late in the transaction.

Common Arkansas title issues include:

  • Missing probate

  • Unreleased liens

  • Defective legal descriptions

  • Improper acknowledgments

  • Breaks in chain of title

  • Old mineral reservations

  • Incorrect marital status recitals

I assist with curing title defects so property can become insurable and closable.

If you are a:

  • Title company

  • Real estate broker

  • Closing attorney

  • Lender

  • Or property owner

… and you need Arkansas title cleaned up properly, I can help.


Arkansas Lender Opinion Letters

I prepare Arkansas real estate opinion letters for lenders in connection with:

  • Rural property loans

  • Agricultural property

  • Mineral-backed lending

  • Commercial transactions

A properly prepared lender opinion can reduce risk and clarify title issues before closing.

If you are a bank or private lender needing Arkansas counsel for real estate review, contact my office.


Services for Rural Property Owners in Arkansas

Many Arkansas landowners own:

  • Farm property

  • Timberland

  • Recreational acreage

  • Hunting property

  • Mineral interests

  • Family land passed down for generations

These properties often carry title complications.

I assist rural property owners with:

  • Deed preparation

  • Title correction

  • Mineral transfers

  • Beneficiary deed planning

  • Coordination with estate plans

If your family land needs to be transferred or cleaned up, it is better to do it correctly now than to leave a problem for the next generation.
