You need a current will. Particularily notarized and filed with whatever county agency that does that, but filing isn't absolutely required in most jurisdictions. Everything else is window dressing and lawyer fee inducing.
Transfer might be free some places. Most however add taxes. 50-50 on adding your name to title. Yes you get title, but also any fiscal responsibility for unpaid fees, taxes and lawsuits.
