If you visit the blog section of this website you will find my blog and an article dedicated to your question. Here is the direct link:

As to taxes, you can ask any notary office close to you. Usually each party pays taxes in the  amount of 1% out of the purchase price.

sorry, i cant find your blog here , the link don't work
