"Getting the Deed" in Alabama.

[Ivan Reyes]

My first short sale. Seller is willing to just hand over the deed and rid himself of the property. Question is what Deed is used in Alabama and what document can I use so he can just transfer the deed to me?

Also, I was planning on using an option contract. Should I use a standard sales contract instead? On the other hand do I really need a contract if he's willing to deed me the property?

Thanks.
