What types of deeds are used to transfer Alabama real estate?

Alabama recognizes three types of deeds based on the warranty of title :

  • General warranty deed form . An Alabama general warranty deed form is used when owners want to provide a full warranty of title that covers the entire chain of title, including the time period before the current owners owned the property.
  • Statutory warranty deed form . An Alabama statutory warranty deed is Alabama’s version of a special warranty deed . It provides a warranty of title that is limited to the time when the current owner (the owner conveying the property by deed) owned the property. The current owner is not responsible for anything that happened before that owner took title to the property.
  • Quitclaim deed form . An Alabama quitclaim deed form provides no warranty of title. It simply transfers the current owner’s interest, if any, to the new owner. Alabama title companies recognize quitclaim deeds , so deeds without warranty (sometimes called no warranty deeds ) are not used in Alabama.

What types of estate planning deeds are used in Alabama?

Some states offer several options for using deeds for estate planning purposes. Alabama only has one: The life estate deed .

A life estate is a form of co-ownership that allows owners to hold interests at different points in time. One owner—called a life tenant —can hold title to the property for his or her life. At the life tenant’s death, the property passes automatically to another owner called a remainderman or remainder beneficiary . There can be more than one life tenant and more than one remainder beneficiary. Life estates are used in Alabama to avoid probate .

Attorney Practice Note: Alabama does not recognize lady bird deeds (which are popular in a handful of states, like Florida , Michigan , and Texas ) or transfer-on-death deeds (which are used in many other states). Each of these deed types allows owners to transfer property at death while retaining full rights to revoke the deed or change the beneficiaries during the owner’s life. In Alabama, a deed to a living trust may be used to accomplish the same goals.

What are the ways that multiple owners can hold title to Alabama real estate?

Alabama recognizes several basic forms of co-ownership that apply when more than one owner will own the property. These forms of co-ownership include joint tenancy with right of survivorship, tenancy in common, and life estates. Each of these are discussed below.

Joint Tenancy with Right of Survivorship

If all of the owners are humans (no businesses or trusts), then the owners may hold title as joint tenants with right of survivorship. When one owner dies, property held by that owner passes to the surviving owner or owners automatically, without the need to go through probate.

Tenancy in Common

Some owners of jointly-held property would prefer that the property pass to their family or others instead of passing to the surviving owners. For these owners, tenancy in common is often the best choice. It allows each owner to leave his or her interest to his or her estate. This benefit comes at a cost, though, because probate is often required to transfer an interest in property held as tenants in common.

Tenancy in common is often the only choice if any of the owners are businesses or trusts. Because businesses and trusts have no lifespan, the concept of survivorship does not apply to them.

Attorney Practice Note: Some states, like Florida , recognize a special form of joint tenancy called a tenancy by the entirety. This form of co-ownership is available to married couples and can have asset protection benefits. Alabama does not recognize tenancy by the entirety.

What are the rules for spousal ownership of Alabama real estate?

Alabama is a separate property (common law) state, so it does not recognize community property. When a deed is signed conveying property to one spouse, the property belongs to that spouse alone. For example, a deed to a wife does not give her husband an automatic interest in the property as it could in a community property state.

Even though a spouse does not acquire an interest in his or her spouse’s property by virtue of marriage, special rules apply to property that is used as the marital home (homestead). Alabama law requires a spouse that is not listed on the deed to the property (non-titled spouse) to sign the deed to convey the property.

No mortgage, deed or other conveyance of the homestead by a married person shall be valid without the voluntary signature and assent of the husband or wife 1

Under this statute, a transfer of homestead property without the signature of both spouses is invalid. That is true even if only one spouse owns the property. For a married couple to convey Alabama homestead property, both spouses must sign the deed.

Because of the spousal homestead rights, it is customary for Alabama deeds to include a statement about whether the property is the homestead of the person signing the deed. If the person is unmarried, this provision has little value. But if the person is married, the statement about whether the property is homestead can help avoid title issues.

Our online deed preparation service includes required statements about homestead status and, if spousal signature is required, appropriate language for the spousal signature.

Unlike the law of some states, Alabama law does not give a spouse dower or curtesy rights that require the spouse’s signature to convey property.

Where are deeds filed in Alabama?

In Alabama, deeds are filed with the office of the judge of probate of the county where the property is located. Unlike some states, Alabama deeds need not state whether the property is in a city or an unincorporated area and need not include the grantor’s and grantee’s county of residence when listing addresses in the vesting paragraph.

How much does it cost to file an Alabama deed?

Alabama recording costs for deeds can vary, but usually range from $2.50 to $11.00 for the first page and $2.50 to $3.00 for each additional page.

Does Alabama charge a transfer tax on real estate transfers?

Alabama charges a deed tax on transfers of Alabama real estate. Unless an exception applies, a deed transfer tax must be paid when the deed is recorded. 2 The transfer tax rate is $0.50 for every $500 (rounded up) of value of the property being conveyed.

Does Alabama require any other form when recording a deed?

When an Alabama deed is presented for recording, it must be accompanied by proof of the actual purchase price paid for the real estate or, if the property not being sold, evidence of the actual value of the property. 3 As a practical matter, this requirement is usually satisfied using the Real Estate Sales Validation Form (RT-1) developed by the Alabama Department of Revenue.

A copy of the Alabama Real Estate Sales Validation Form (RT-1) is included with the deeds produced by our deed preparation service at no extra charge.

How to Transfer Land in the State of Alabama

Certificate of Title

Common reasons for a transfer of land include the sale of property, a death of the owner or a divorce. A deed is the legal document used to transfer the ownership of property. In the state of Alabama, transferring property requires the preparation of a new deed that fulfills all of the legal requirements in Alabama for transferring land, such as possessing a notary's signature and stamp. Since transferring land is a legal process, it is a good idea to use a professional when preparing the documents.

Advertisement

Gather the information from both the grantor and grantee of the property. Alabama state law requires the legal name and address to be used when transferring land. Also, obtain a copy of the deed to the land from the current landowner. This contains the property's legal description and lists the grantor as the current owner.

Video of the Day

Contact an attorney who handles real estate transfers to compose a deed to transfer land in the state of Alabama. Provide the previous deed as a guide for the attorney when composing the deed. It gives the legal description, mineral rights and exclusions to the property.

Sign and date the deed. The state of Alabama requires that a deed be notarized and stamped as well. The attorney will provide a notary when the deed is completed.

Take the original copy of the deed to the county courthouse and have it recorded in the deed book. It then becomes a permanent record in the state of Alabama. This protects you from future claims or judgments on the title.

Determine if the property conveyance type should be a warranty deed or a quitclaim deed with the guidance of the attorney. A warranty deed provides the grantee with the guarantee that the property is owned by the grantee and has no liens. A quitclaim deed, on the other hand, offers no warranty and simply transfers the property between owners.

Alabama Property Deeds

Property Deeds in Alabama

  • General Warranty Deed
  • Special Warranty Deed 
  • Bargain and Sale Deed
  • Quitclaim Deed

General Warranty Deed is the most commonly used property deed in real estate transactions. This deed provides the buyer with the highest level of protection. It requires the grantor (i.e., the seller) to make certain “covenants,” or guarantees. Sellers must guarantee the following in this property deed in Alabama:

  • That they own the property and have the right to convey it. 
  • There are no liens or encumbrances on the property unless specifically mentioned in the deed. 
  • The title is good against third parties that may attempt to lay claim to the property. 
  • They will deliver and document the instrument necessary to make the title good for the buyer.

Alabama Property Deed Attorneys

Bargain and Sale Deed is a property deed in Alabama that implies the grantor owns the property but makes no guarantees regarding the title. This kind of deed, the buyer gets no protections from liens or encumbrances. Buyers could get in trouble down the road if title defects appear or others claim the property. Specific situations like tax sales or foreclosure actions are examples of Bargain and Sale Property Deeds in Alabama.

The Quitclaim Deed offers the least protection for the buyer. In Quitclaim Deeds, when the grantor transfers the property to the buyer, it terminates the grantor’s rights and claims to the property. Unlike Warranty Deeds, Quitclaim Deeds contain no title covenants. Grantors do not guarantee there are no liens, encumbrances on the property, or that they own the property. This is the least protective property deed in Alabama you can do but is also the most common.

Quitclaim Deeds in Alabama

These Quitclaim deeds lack covenants that buyers typically demand and only used in specific circumstances. Quitclaim Deed examples include:

  • When land transfers between family members, as gifts.
  • Personal property transfers into a business entity or vice-versa.
  • After a divorce when one spouse deeds over real property to their ex-spouse.

Our Birmingham property deed attorneys charge a flat fee to prepare your property deed in Alabama. Then you will need to get it signed and executed. After executing the deed, you will usually be the one to record it in the Probate Court where the property is located. The probate court will charge a filing fee, while determining the tax appraisal value of the property. Before you transfer real property, you should consult with a local Alabama Property Deed attorney that knows local property deed laws.

Quitclaim deeds are generally a quicker and less expensive way to transfer property ownership. Most local attorneys can prepare a property deed in Alabama for you for a low flat rate. Our Shelby County property deed lawyers charge a flat fee to prepare one for you and can do it all online and get it to you very quickly to record with the Probate Court.

Alabama Deed of Trust

The Alabama deed of trust is an agreement between a trustor (those seeking a loan) and the trustee (the loan provider). The agreement states that the person seeking the loan will pay it and that the loan provider will hold the property title until the loan is completely paid.

The property title acts as collateral for the loan amount until the trustor (or borrower) can pay back the loan. Once the loan is fully paid, the trustor receives ownership of the legal title to the property.

Transfer on Death in Alabama: How it Works and What You Need to Know | Snug

 alt=

Are you an executor or trustee?

Want to get organized, want to offer estate planning, need a will or trust.

Estate planning is a complex but necessary process for ensuring a smooth transfer of assets upon death. One of the commonly used tools in estate planning is the "Transfer on Death" (TOD) provision. In this blog post, we will take an in-depth look at TOD provisions under Alabama law.

Understanding Transfer on Death

A Transfer on Death (TOD) provision allows the owner of an asset to designate a beneficiary who will inherit the asset upon the owner's death, bypassing the often lengthy and complicated probate process. The asset can range from financial accounts, such as a bank account or a brokerage account, to physical assets like automobiles.

It is important to note that the named beneficiary has no legal rights to the asset during the owner's lifetime. The asset only transfers to the beneficiary upon the owner's death, making the process quicker and more cost-effective than the traditional probate process.

Transfer on Death vs. Joint Ownership

In Alabama, as in many other states, TOD provisions and joint ownership are both methods used to transfer assets, but they work differently.

Joint ownership implies that two or more individuals have equal ownership in a particular asset. When one owner dies, the surviving owner(s) automatically inherit the deceased's share, bypassing the probate process.

A TOD provision, on the other hand, allows an asset owner to specify a beneficiary who will inherit the asset upon their death, also bypassing the probate process. Unlike joint ownership, the beneficiary does not hold any ownership interest in the asset until the owner's death.

Creditor Protections from Transfer on Death

TOD provisions can offer a degree of protection from creditors. Upon the death of an owner with outstanding debts in Alabama, creditors typically have a set period to stake their claim against the estate. However, assets transferred through TOD provisions bypass probate and are usually inaccessible to creditors unless they can prove a case of fraudulent transfer.

Conflicts Between Your Will and TOD Provisions

Confusion may arise if a will and a TOD provision contradict each other. Under Alabama law, a TOD provision usually overrides a will. This means that if your will specifies that an asset should go to a certain individual, but the TOD provision on the asset specifies a different person, the asset will go to the person named in the TOD provision.

Tax and Debt Implications of TOD

Tax considerations are crucial when implementing TOD provisions. In Alabama, assets transferred via TOD are subject to the same estate tax rules as assets transferred through other means. Alabama does not charge a state estate tax, so only federal estate taxes apply.

As for debts, assets transferred via TOD provisions are typically shielded from the deceased's debts, barring a successful fraudulent transfer case.

Real Estate and TOD in Alabama

Unlike some states, Alabama does not currently allow the use of TOD deeds for real estate. Instead, other instruments such as joint tenancy or revocable living trusts are typically used to avoid probate when transferring real estate upon death.

The Validity of Lady Bird Deeds in Alabama

A Lady Bird deed, also known as an enhanced life estate deed , allows an individual to retain a life estate in a property while passing the remainder interest to beneficiaries. The individual also retains the right to sell, lease, or mortgage the property without the beneficiaries' consent.

However, Lady Bird deeds are not recognized in Alabama. Nonetheless, similar outcomes can often be achieved through the use of a revocable living trust or joint tenancy.

How to Establish a TOD Provision in Alabama

Setting up a TOD provision in Alabama generally involves completing a form provided by the financial institution that holds your assets. Given that real estate cannot be transferred via a TOD deed in Alabama, a different estate planning instrument would be necessary for such assets.

The Limitations of TOD Provisions

While TOD provisions offer significant advantages, they also have limitations. They do not allow for complex asset dispositions or provide detailed instructions as a will or trust might. Also, if the beneficiary predeceases the owner and no alternate beneficiary is named, the asset will typically go through probate.

Revoking a TOD Provision

TOD provisions can be revoked or changed at any time during the owner's life, as long as the owner is mentally competent.

In Alabama, this usually involves completing a form provided by the financial institution. For assets such as real estate where TOD is not an option, the revocation process will depend on the estate planning instrument used.

In conclusion, understanding the laws governing TOD provisions in Alabama is essential when planning your estate. It is advisable to consult with an experienced estate planning attorney to ensure your assets will be distributed according to your wishes.

Alabama Guide to Survivorship Deeds: What is a survivorship Deed?

by Brenton McWilliams | Real Estate Law

Author: Brenton McWilliams

What is an Alabama survivorship Deed?

In Alabama, survivorship deeds are sometimes used for ownership among multiple property owners. Following the death of one of the owners, a survivorship deed passes ownership on to the surviving owner automatically, by operation of law, without the need for probate. The property is owned by the multiple owners as joint tenants with right of survivorship.

Without survivorship, the default ownership among multiple owners is ownership as “tenants in common.” Each owner’s interest in the property will pass as part of their probate estate on their death.

Ownership with right of survivorship is common with married couples. For most couples, the right of survivorship is a good setup that allows the house to automatically pass to the surviving spouse without the need for probate. However, blended families or couples with separate children should pay attention to whether they own their property with a right of survivorship. Survivorship deeds between spouses with children from a prior marriage, can and often do, result in one of the spouse’s children being completely disinherited.

For example, Jane and John Doe are each on their second marriage. They both have children from prior marriages. Both of them are financially independent. After their marriage, they retire and purchase a condo together at the beach in Alabama. Both of them contribute the entire equity in their previous homes to purchase the condo. Jane creates a will that leaves all of her property to her children. John creates a will that leaves all of his property to his children. Jane and John own the condo as joint tenants with right of survivorship.

Jane and John live together in the condo. After 20 years, Jane and John have spent the bulk of their retirement savings. The equity in the condo is their largest asset and what they plant to leave to their children. On Jane’s death, the right of survivorship in the deed controls and the entire ownership in the property passes to John. John is the surviving spouse and now owns 100% of the condo. On John’s death, his entire estate, including the full interest in the condo pass to his children under his will. Jane’s children receive nothing. (Note that this would also be the case if Jane and John did not create wills).

Variations of Survivorship Deeds in Alabama

There are at least two variations of survivorship deeds in Alabama including a joint tenancy with right of survivorship and a tenancy in common with right of survivorship. The joint tenancy with right of survivorship is created by language in the deed expressing a clear intent for ownership to be held with a right of by survivorship between the owners. For example, the joint tenancy with right of survivorship language may read: “Grantor grants to Jane and John Do as joint tenants with right of survivorship the following described property.” In contrast to the tenancy in common with right of survivorship, the right of survivorship may be severed or destroyed by unilateral action on the part of one of the co-owners.

The tenancy in common with right of survivorship may create a right of survivorship that is indestructible without the consent of all co-owners involved. Alabama courts have characterized the tenancy in common with right of survivorship “as creating concurrent life estates with cross-contingent remainders in fee; or a tenancy in common for life with a contingent remainder in favor of the survivor.”  In a life estate remainder ownership scheme, the full interest cannot be conveyed without action by both the life tenant and remainderman. The language for a tenancy in common with right of survivorship may read: “Grantor grants to Jane and John Do as tenants in common with equal interests during their concurrent lives with a cross-contingent remainder to the survivor in fee simple.”

How to Create or Terminate a Right of Survivorship

A right of survivorship may be created by a deed using the appropriate granting language to specify that the ownership includes a right of survivorship among the owners. The right of survivorship can be terminated by deed. The consent required depends on whether the right of survivorship is destructible. There are also statutes that provide for specific circumstances where a right of survivorship will automatically terminate.

Does your deed have right of survivorship?

You can determine whether your ownership is by survivorship by reviewing your source deed to the property to see if the granting clause includes either of the types of survivorship language above. Alabama Code § 35-4-7 states that “in the event it is stated in the instrument creating such tenancy that such tenancy is with right of survivorship or other words used therein showing such intention, then, upon the death of one joint tenant, his interest shall pass to the surviving joint tenant or tenants according to the intent of such instrument.”

Arkansas v Alabama

Friday, February 9 marks the closing of the 30-day transfer portal window that opened the day that Nick Saban retired. If you listen to non-Alabama college football fans that want nothing more than for the Crimson Tide to drop back to the pack of mediocrity, they will tell you that there was a “mass exodus” in Tuscaloosa.

The final tally stands at 30 players exiting Bama via the Transfer Portal. Granted, that is a large number of players but the quality of those who have departed versus their replacements, balances the books a bit.

PRE-RETIREMENT

Before Saban made his announcement, there were already 20 Tide players in the Transfer Portal. Many of them were reserves who had not played much and did not have much of a chance of cracking the starting lineup any time soon. This number includes two walk-ons.

  • Tyler Buchner entered 12/04/2023, destination: Notre Dame Lacrosse - He was never going to get significant snaps at Alabama ever again. (+)
  • Thaiu Jones-Bell 12/04/2023 ? - Not sure if this one even counts since he was not on the 2023 team. (+)
  • Isaiah Hastings 12/07/2023 Syracuse - not much of a future with Bama. (+)
  • Ja’Corey Brooks 12/07/2023 Louisville - former starter who saw his playing time dwindle to almost nothing in 2023. (+)
  • Anquin Barnes 12/11/2023 Colorado - not much future in T-town. (+)
  • Eli Holstein 1/03/2024 Pitt - bleak future. (+)
  • Monkell Goodwine 1/03/2024 South Carolina - bleak future. (+)
  • Malik Benson 1/03/2024 Florida State - this WR had one disappointing season at Bama after being hailed as the #1 juco recruit. 13 receptions for 162 yards, 1 TD (vs Chattanooga). (+)
  • Seth McLaughlin 1/03/2024 Ohio State - God bless him, this poor guy had to go. He needed a change of scenery to help him get over the snapping yips and escape certain fans’ scorn. (+)
  • Shazz Preston 1/03/2024 Tulane - bleak future. (+)
  • Miles Kitselman 1/03/2024 Tennessee - bleak future. (+)
  • Kristian Story 1/03/2024 Kentucky - After four seasons at Alabama, he finally got some meaningful playing time at safety with a game on the line... and it did not go so well. He is now in his bonus season and Alabama can only take back so many 5th/6th year seniors. (+)

  • Roydell Williams 1/05/2024 Florida State - Another super senior who served as the second running back thi past campaign for reasons unknown to the public while Justice Haynes and Jam Miller stood around on the sidelines.

  • Walk-on Hayden Neighbors 1/05/2024 (+)
  • Walk-on Jax Porter 1/05/2024 (+)

Let’s take a break here. Buchner has quit football. Jones-Bell most likely quit football a year ago and just thought he would float his name out there just in case. Brooks disappeared. Left over are two walk-ons who have not played a down, seven guys who were probably never going to see significant playing time, a receiver who was starting for some reason but could not get open, a center who forgot how to snap the ball, and two bonus year seniors who were not worth the precious few roster spots remaining to bring them back.

17. Earl Little II 1/03/2024 Florida State - Little was expected to compete for a starting role or at least as a top back-up in the secondary in 2023. However, he hardly saw the field in non-special teams situations. There must be a good reason for that. With so many defensive back teammates heading to the NFL, his odds of increased playing time were much better. But okay... (+/-)

18. Terrence Ferguson 1/03/2024 Florida State - A bit of a surprise as he was expected to compete for a starting role, but far from being a lock. (+/-)

19. Kendrick Blackshire 1/08/2024 Texas - In his third year, he was getting more playing time. 2024 will be his final season of eligibility. He probably saw a better chance of starting somewhere else. (+/-)

20. Jake Pope 1/07/2024 Georgia - Worked exclusively on special teams in 2023. He only played one season after a redshirt year. It seems a bit early to bail, but maybe he was homesick? (+/-)

Above we have two guys who may or may not have started in 2024 and two guys who excelled at special teams but would probably not be cracking the starting lineup.

The total comes to two-thirds of transfers coming BEFORE Saban hung it up on January 10. He most certainly met with all these guys to talk about their futures with the program. Had he not retired, nobody would be saying anything about an “exodus”.

POST-RETIREMENT

Kalen DeBoer was announced as the new head coach on January 12, 2024.

21. Isaiah Bond 1/12/2024 Texas - By the time the DeBoer announcement came, Bond was already in the transfer portal. He was a starter but had only 668 yards and 4 TD. He will be missed in the receiving corps but his yard totals were way lower than what Tide fans are used to seeing from a starting receiver. (-)

22. Shawn Murphy 1/13/2024 Florida State - With only two years in the program, what’s the rush? (+/-)

23. Antonio Kite 1/13/2024 Auburn - Based on where he landed, he must have been buried in the depth chart. (+/-)

24. Dezz Ricks 1/13/2024 Texas A&M - Only one season in Tuscaloosa. smh (+/-)

25. Amari Niblack 1/14/2024 Texas - A disappointing loss of a promising player. (-)

26. Trey Amos 1/15/2024 Ole Miss - Had an opportunity to fight for a starting spot. (+/-)

27. Kadyn Proctor 1/17/2024 Iowa - Freshman All-American and a starter. But the Iowa folks got in his head and made him homesick. It hurts losing him but if his heart is not into it, what good is he to Alabama? (+/-)

28. Caleb Downs 1/17/2024 Ohio State - Another Freshman All-American and a starter. I still don’t get this one. You don't want to play for Kalen DeBoer but Ryan “Always a Bridesmaid” Day is a better option? Based on Downs’s recent comments , it sounds like he got some Uncle Mentor Godfathers in his ear. (-)

29. Julian Sayin 1/19/2024 Ohio State - I hate losing this kid. I have to blame KDB on this one. (-)

30. Jameer Grimsley 1/18/2024 Florida - I hope this does not sound like sour grapes, but I was very unimpressed with this commitment/signing. Maybe he will prove me wrong someday? (+)

Of course, these grades are all based on this writer’s opinion. There is probably some margin of error, but not too much. That said, let’s add them up:

(+) = 17 or over half are no real significant losses. (-) = Four can be considered deficits with one of them having never played a down of college football. (+/-) = Nine we may never know.

Before Saban’s departure, he picked up transfers from three outstanding players. They have all stuck around.

  • LT Overton 12/05/2023 Texas A&M - Pencil him in as a starter at DL.
  • Domani Jackson 12/19/2023 Southern Cal - Likely starter at CB.
  • Naquil Betrand 12/20/2023 Texas A&M - 6-6/340 OL still has four years to play.

Soon after coach DeBoer came on board at Alabama, he was able add three more transfers, all from Washington:

4. Parker Brailsford - Freshman All-American center instantly fixes a serious issue that was lingering at Alabama. He is a definite win in the TP for the Tide.

5. Austin Mack - RS freshman QB already knows the system and is highly regarding by the new coaching staff. He will have four years to play.

6. Germie Bernard - Rising junior WR was behind three Huskies who are all going to end up being selected in April’s NFL Draft. And still, he ended up with 752 all-purpose yards. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

DeBoer got a flip and a re-commitment as well:

7. Noah Carter - Flipped high 4-star Edge Rusher who was released from his Letter Of Intent with Washington.

8. Ryan Williams - 5-star WRwas brought back into the fold.

9. Quinton “QB” Reese - DeBoer also found a spot for this 3-star linebacker from Birmingham.

Based on the info listed above, the hypothetical math leaves Alabama in the profit column.

The use of the (+) symbol is not meant to represent a positive that a player has departed. It is meant that it does not hurt the team. The Tide loaded up on plenty of incoming freshmen that can fill those voids.

The ones with (+/-) are unknown how good of football players they are or will be. They may all turn into All-Americans or they may all become busts.

The four negatives (-) are the ones to look at.

  • Isaiah Bond - Ignoring incoming freshmen Williams, Rico Scott and Bubba Hampton, focus more on junior Germie Bernard. As mentioned above, he had 752 all-purpose yards last season as the 4th receiver. Bond amassed 668 total yards and equaled Bernard with four touchdowns as a starter and favorite target of Jalen Milroe. It makes little sense why a receiver like Bond would want to pull the ripcord on the type of offense that KDB is bringing in. Based on his social media, it appears he wanted a quick money grab. For argument’s sake, we’ll leave the personal side out of it. Bernard is a more than adequate replacement.
  • Caleb Downs - Many folks figured he was leaving to join DB coach Travaris Robinson who defected to Georgia. However, it was a big swing and a miss for T-Rob and now Kirby Smart is saddled with a $1.3 million cornerbacks coach. That softens the blow a bit but Alabama will have a hard time replacing Downs in 2024.
  • Julian Sayin - It is unfortunate to have a QB of his caliber hit the bricks. To KDB’s credit, he brought Mack along with him from Seattle. Mack has a year under his belt with the new staff and they are mighty high on him. Who knows if either can live up to their hype? This is a wash.
  • Amari Niblack - This tight end had a slow start to his Alabama career but showed some real sparks of talent in year 2. Even still, he had only 20 catches for 327 yards and 4 touchdowns. In addition, he was not often the first choice on blocking plays. CJ Dippre and Robbie Ouzts were called on for most of those instances and they are both coming back this fall. That does not count as a replacement, but freshman Caleb Odom does. Not since OJ Howard have I been more excited to see and incoming tight end at Alabama.

So, what is the point to all this? Alabama lost 30 guys to the portal but it is not as bad as it seems. The only true loss appears to be Downs. Conversely, they addressed the problem at center with a guy who is younger and was probably not obtainable by Saban. All things considered, all these factors put Bama ahead in our books.

How would you assess Alabama’s outcome from the transfer portal?

Bama came out ahead., bama came out behind., broke even., more from roll 'bama roll.

  • Withholding Requirement on Sales/Transfers of Real Property & Tangible Personal Property by Nonresidents

Section 40-18-86, Code of Alabama 1975 , provides for income tax withholding at a rate of 3% or 4% on sales or transfers of real property and associated tangible personal property by nonresidents of Alabama. This Code Section is applicable to any sale or transfer occurring on or after August 1, 2008.  For the purposes of this Code Section, nonresidents include individuals, trusts, partnerships, corporations, limited liability companies, limited liability partnerships, and unincorporated organizations. This law does not apply to residents of Alabama, so there is no requirement for any of the forms applicable under Section 40-18-86 to be completed on the sale or transfer of property by a resident.

The rate of withholding is 3% or 4% of the purchase price. An alternative for calculating the withholding is to use the seller’s gain. In order to apply the withholding to the gain, the seller must complete Form NR-AF2 (Affidavit of Seller’s Gain) attesting to the amount of the taxable gain. The seller is responsible for the calculation of the gain. The completed Form NR-AF2 must be sent to ALDOR. A copy of this form along with an explanation of the cost basis and expenses should be kept with the closing file. The buyer may rely on the seller’s affidavit with the above mentioned explanation unless the buyer knows or should know, based on the buyer’s knowledge at the time of closing, that statements made on the affidavit are false. The buyer has no duty to investigate the statements made on a seller’s affidavit. If the calculated amount for the withholding is more than the cash received at closing, the buyer must withhold and remit only the net proceeds otherwise payable to the seller.

There are a number of exemptions to the withholding requirement.

FORMS AND INSTRUCTIONS

Alabama RB Roydell Williams in transfer portal, per report

Alabama football running back Roydell Williams has entered the transfer portal, per multiple outlets.

The Hueytown native was Alabama’s second-leading rusher in 2023 (560 yards), behind Jase McClellan and more than Jalen Milroe. Williams totaled six touchdowns and over 600 yards of offense as a senior. On3 was the first to report news of Williams’ departure.

Williams will have one year of eligibility remaining. He received one carry against Michigan in the Rose Bowl but was on the field for the game’s final play. Nick Saban said Thursday on The Pat McAfee Show that Williams was dealing with an ankle injury.

Williams ended his UA career with 234 carries and 21 catches for 13 touchdowns. He saved his best for his senior year, totaling a single-season high in rushing yards (560) and touchdowns (five).

After a standout high school run with the Golden Gophers, Williams was a top-100 prospect and chose the Tide as a four-star. His first touchdown came against Kentucky in 2020, a 60-point rout in Bryant-Denny Stadium. Williams continued to earn more snaps on special teams, and eventually, touches.

Williams produced 284 yards on 48 carries when he tore his ACL against New Mexico State as a sophomore. He returned for 250 yards and four touchdowns in 2022 with the third most carries on the team. Along with McClellan this past fall, Alabama’s runners averaged 172.6 yards per game.

Alabama can possibly return McClellan (919 rushing yards), who has until Jan. 15 if he wants to opt for the NFL Draft. Barring surprises, UA should also have promising underclassmen Jam Miller (4.9 yards per carry on 41 attempts) and Justice Haynes coming back to help the ground game.

Nick Saban has underseen a flurry of roster movement, much of it expected, following the end of the Crimson Tide’s season. Multiple stars, such as Dallas Turner, JC Latham and Kool-Aid McKinstry, have gone pro. Offensive weapons Malik Benson and Miles Kitselman have been among those to enter the portal.
