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.
In California, a deed of trust must come with security, typically a promissory note. To be valid, a deed of trust must be (1) in writing, (2) with a description of the property, and (3) signed by the trustor of the deed of trust.
Today, Californians most often transfer title to real property by a simple written instrument, the grant deed. The word “grant” is expressly designated by statute as a word of conveyance. (Civil Code Section 1092) A second form of deed is the quitclaim deed.
There are many uses for a quitclaim deed, but one of the most common is to convey ownership between people who are related, like spouses, parents or other family members.
California mainly uses two types of deeds: the “grant deed” and the “quitclaim deed.” Most other deeds you will see, such as the common “interspousal transfer deed,” are versions of grant or quitclaim deeds customized for specific circumstances.
The fundamental difference is that a Grant Deed ensures the grantor has a legal interest in the property, while a Quitclaim Deed releases only the potential interest one might have in a property without any warranties.
