<prompt> Human: So Im already soliciting advice from friends and family members, but Id also like to know what Reddit thinks about this...My grandfather of sound mind, and all that is intent on transferring a few parcels of land to me, but Ill need to make it all happen as far as paperwork and whatnot.How best to proceed? Do I need a lawyer for something like this? If so, how much should he or she cost? Am I even asking the right questions? Im told I should be interested in something called a title search, as well as title insurance, and proper registration with the county. What else would you consider?FWIW the land is in a residential area about 10 miles north of Boston, MA. And I did post this the rRealEstate but the post never showed up, maybe bc this is a throwaway?  <response>: Call a lawyer. Seriously. Make sure you do it right or you could really regret it.
