What is an example of deed? A warranty deed is the most common example of a deed. A warranty deed is a deed that indicates that the property has been fully researched, and the grantor guarantees (warrants) that the grantor has full legal rights to sell the property with no liens or other encumbrances.
The grantor must sign the deed form and that signature must be properly acknowledged by a notary public. All signatures must be original; we cannot accept photocopies. A complete description of the property including the village, town, county and state where the property is located must also be included on the form.
For a deed to be legal, it must state the name of the buyer and the seller, describe the property being transferred, and include the signature of the party transferring the property. In addition to being either official or private, deeds are classified as general warranty, special warranty, or quitclaim.

In many cases, the spouse can inherit your house even if their name was not on the deed. This is because of how the probate process works. When someone dies intestate, their surviving spouse is the first one who gets a chance to file a petition with the court that would initiate administration of the estate.
California's use of grant and quitclaim deeds and its community property laws differ from many other states. While warranty deeds are more common elsewhere, California's community property laws provide that any property acquired during marriage is owned equally by both spouses, regardless of whose name is on the deed.
