FAQ
Fill out the "grantor" section of the warranty deed. The grantors are the givers, or current owners, of the property. Use the legal name of each grantor and insert current addresses after each grantor's name.
Let's start with the definition of a deed: DEED: A written instrument by which one party, the Grantor, conveys the title of ownership in property to another party, the Grantee. A Warranty Deed contains promises, called covenants, that the Grantor makes to the Grantee.
Print a grant deed from an online source. Sign the document in the presence of a notary public. Take the deed to the recorder's office in the county where the property is located.
Typically, the lender will provide you with a copy of the deed of trust after the closing. The original warranty deeds are often mailed to the grantee after they are recorded. These are your original copies and should be kept in a safe place, such as a fireproof lockbox or a safe deposit box at a financial institution.
Failure to record a deed effectively makes it impossible for the public to know about the transfer of a property. That means the legal owner of the property appears to be someone other than the buyer, a situation that can generate serious ramifications.
It's important to note that a warranty deed does not actually prove the grantor has ownership (a title search is the best way to prove that), but it is a promise by the grantor that they are transferring ownership and if it turns out they don't actually own the property, the grantor will be responsible for compensating
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 answer is yes. Parties to a transaction are always free to prepare their own deeds. If you do so, be sure your deed measures up to your state's legal regulations, to help avert any legal challenge to the deed later.
Grantor's name. Grantee's name and address. Description of grantee (ex: unmarried man, husband and wife, joint tenants) Person who requested grant deed. Address of real estate that is being transferred. Legal description of property (lot number) Original title order number for property.
