When is the title of a manufactured home transferred to a new owner?

The title of a manufactured home is transferred to a new owner upon completion of the sale and the submission of the necessary documents. This process is crucial as it formalizes the ownership transfer through paperwork that typically includes a bill of sale and title application, which must be submitted to the relevant state agency to record the new ownership officially.

The other scenarios, such as completion of an inspection, obtaining financing, or delivery of the home, are important steps in the home buying process but do not directly relate to the legal transfer of title. Inspections ensure the home’s condition is acceptable, financing secures the funds necessary for the purchase, and delivery involves physically bringing the home to its new location. However, it is the execution of sale documents that legally conveys ownership rights, making this the key factor in the transfer process.
