A family transfer is usually exempt from transfer tax. Please consult a title company in your area or call our office so we can steer you in the right direction. 570-344-6091. John Topa, First Sunrise Mortgage

check with a local title transfer company, but I believe the discount tranfer applies only one generation distance. (ex. grandmother to her daughter)

No transfer tax will apply to you since this is a family member transaction.
