# NFT Legal Framework The legal framework for NFTing real estate is designed to ensure that the transfer of ownership is both secure and legally binding. When a property is NFTed, it creates a digital record of ownership stored on-chain. During the sale, the associated smart contract automatically updates the legal ownership documents to reflect the new owner. This process, governed by smart contracts, eliminates the need for manual intervention, ensuring that ownership transfers are executed seamlessly and securely. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
