Most current deeds fall into one of four categories: 1) General Warranty, 2) Special Warranty, 3) Quit Claim deed, and 4) Bargain and Sale deed. General Warranty Deed — The General Warranty deed is often referred to simply as a warranty 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.
A warranty deed promises that the grantor holds good, clear title to a piece of real estate. It promises also that the grantor has the right and authority right to sell it to the grantee or buyer. A quitclaim deed, on the other hand, makes no promises about the quality of the title to the property.
What Is a Quitclaim Deed? Quitclaim deeds are most often for transferring property between family members or to cure a defect on the title, such as a misspelling of a name.
General warranty deed It's the type of deed that offers the most buyer protection. When committing to a general warranty deed, the seller is promising there are no liens against the property, and if there were, the seller would compensate the buyer for those claims.
Common uses – Typically, quitclaim deeds are used for lower-risk transfers between related parties. In contrast, warranty deeds are used for real estate sales and high-value transactions involving unrelated grantees. Grantee risks – With a quitclaim deed, all risks remain with the grantee.
A general warranty deed must include the following to be valid: The name and address of the seller (called the grantor) The name and address of the buyer (called the grantee) A legal description of the property (found on the previous deed) A statement that the grantor is transferring the property to the grantee.
Quitclaims, waivers, or releases by employees are generally looked upon with disfavor and are commonly frowned upon by the courts, since they are usually contrary to public policy, ineffective, and are meant to bar claims to an employee's legal rights.
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.
