My husband and I gave our son a portion of our land 4 years ago. We had the letter notarized. Is this sufficient to prove that we gave it to him or we will need documentation.
Hi leilahall,
I think you should have used some kind of a deed, like a quitclaim or warranty deed, to transfer the portion of the land to your son and should have had the deed notarized. This would have been far more authentic than a simple letter stating that the property has been transferred. I think you can still use a deed to transfer it to your son and have it notarized and recorded with the county clerks office.

it might serve as proof of your intentions, but it will not suffice as actual ownership. as jenkin has noted, you need to file a deed.
A deed will do just the job... A notarized letter is some proof but not an actual legalized document for transferring property to your son, Be safe and get a deed.
Agree with the team above.
