Question
I am obtaining a log cabin home for free and moving it to avoid it  being bulldozed over.  The owner has the deed free and clear.  When we  meet, what can I expect to make sure the transaction goes over smoothly and
most importantly..correctly ?


Answer
Hi Amy,
My best advice would be to get a local title insurance company involved.  They will make sure that indeed the title is free and clear of liens and encumbrances), and insure that for a nominal fee.  They will also make sure all of the proper documents are recorded in all of the correct places.  
It sounds like a great deal, but I would get a third party involved that has experience with property transfer.

Thanks,
