Warranty Deed

In some instances, however, quitclaim deeds are used when the grantor has a mortgage. In this case, the grantor remains liable for the mortgage even after ownership has transferred through the execution of a quitclaim deed. Quitclaim deeds transfer title but do not affect mortgages.

But you might be wondering if an owner can transfer a deed to another person without a real estate lawyer. The answer is yes. Parties to a transaction are always free to prepare their own deeds.A quitclaim deed, for example, is far simpler than a warranty deed.

When you purchase property, the previous owner will transfer the warranty deed to you. However, if you're paying for your home with a mortgage, as most people do, the warranty deed is not free and clear.You must deal with your mortgage appropriately if you move to sell your home.

A Quitclaim Deed must be notarized by a notary public or attorney in order to be valid.Consideration in a Quitclaim Deed is what the Grantee will pay to the Grantor for the interest in the property.

Laws NRS 23-1510. Recording Must be filed in the County Recorder's Office where the property is located (See County List). Signing (NRS 76-211) All quit claim deeds must be signed with the Grantor(s) being acknowledged by a Notary Public.

A quitclaim deed is a legal instrument that is used to transfer interest in real property.The owner/grantor terminates (quits) any right and claim to the property, thereby allowing the right or claim to transfer to the recipient/grantee.

A warranty deed guarantees that: The grantor is the rightful owner of the property and has the legal right to transfer the title.The title would withstand third-party claims to ownership of the property. The grantor will do anything to ensure the grantee's title to the property.

The law doesn't forbid adding people to a deed on a home with an outstanding mortgage. Mortgage lenders are familiar and frequently work with deed changes and transfers.When you "deed" your home to someone, you've effectively transferred part ownership, which could activate the "due-on-sale" clause.

It's usually a very straightforward transaction, but it's possible for a quitclaim deed to be challenged. If a quitclaim deed is challenged in court, the issue becomes whether the property was legally transferred and if the grantor had the legal right to transfer the property.
