Review the question and all answer choices

correct answer: A lease transfers a possessory interest in real property for a specified period, making it a sufficient method to transfer certain property rights. This creates a landlord-tenant relationship with specific rights and obligations.

correct answer: A deed is the primary legal instrument used to transfer title to real property. When properly executed and delivered, it legally transfers ownership interest from grantor to grantee.
