A general warranty deed is used to transfer real property from one person to another. This type of deed offers the greatest protection for the buyer and has specific requirements for what must be included in the document.
This is because a quitclaim deed offers the lowest level of protection. When writing a quitclaim deed, the grantor isn't offering any protection or warranty to the grantee.
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.
A warranty deed offers the strongest protection. It protects the party receiving the property title in case there turns out to be any issues with the title.
It's safer to use a warranty deed any time you are not entirely sure of your or someone else's ownership stake in any property. If you are transferring a property to your child or to a revocable trust agreement as part of an estate plan, then a quitclaim deed could do the trick.
Step 1: Create the Illinois Quitclaim Deed You can do this yourself but it's always a good idea to have a real estate attorney review it to make sure it's correct. The deed should have the following: Grantor and Grantee: The grantor is the person transferring the property and the grantee is the person receiving it.
Warranty Deeds A warranty deed offers the same promises as a grant deed, and then some. The owner of a property is guaranteeing that they have the full right to sell and transfer the property, and that the property is clear of any present or future claims, such as liens and taxes.
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.
Deeds are typically characterized based on the sort of warranties in title delivered by the grantor. For example, the general warranty deed provides the highest protection level to the buyer, while the quitclaim deed often provides the least in an Illinois buyer protection.
