A: Hello, the recording fee for recording a Quit Claim Deed is $30 payable to the Register of Deeds in the County where the property is located. If this is a sale from the children to the parent, then a transfer tax by the State of Wisconsin will be assessed on the value of the real estate transferred. If it is a gift, then there will likely be no real estate transfer tax due. I suggest you consult with a qualified real estate attorney to help you complete this transaction in order to ensure what you are doing will meet your goals and objectives in this situation.
