Generally trusts are used as they allow the settlor a degree of control over how the property is to be used whereas gifts are used when no control over the asset is required. There is also different tax treatment of each type of deed.
General warranty deeds: A general warranty deed provides the most protection to the buyer but gives the grantor the highest degree of liability. The grantor of a general warranty deed fully warrants good, clear title to the property.
General warranty deeds give the grantee the most legal protection, while special warranty deeds give the grantee more limited protection. A quitclaim deed gives the grantee the least protection under the law.

As with any conveyance of realty, a gift deed requires a complete legal description of the parcel. Recite the source of title to establish a clear chain of title, and detail any restrictions associated with the property. Each grantor must sign the deed in the presence of a notary public for a valid transfer.
A general warranty deed is the best option for the buyer of the real property—given the scope of the guarantees it provides, specific to liens and claims.
