Grant Deed

Title deeds are documents that essentially provide for proof of ownership over property, real estate, and in some cases, vehicles as well.A grant deed is the legal document that is used to indicate the transfer of property or real estate from one party to another.

A corporation grant deed is a document that transfers the ownership of a parcel of real estate from one organization to another individual or organization.

In California, grant deeds are filed at the county assessor's office with a Preliminary Change of Ownership Request, applicable fees and a Tax Affidavit. All must be notarized for legal transfer and recording.

You can obtain a copy of your Grant Deed directly from the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk. No third party assistance is needed. The County Registrar-Recorder mails the original Grant Deed document to the homeowner after it is recorded. Therefore, you should already have your original Grant Deed.

The grant deed is written proof that an individual owns a property. The grant deed also provides title guarantees to the new owner insurance that the property title is free of claims or liens and the new owner has the right to sell or transfer the property to another.
