Special Warranty Deed Risks: The limited protection may expose buyers to title issues that arose before the seller's ownership period. This can be risky, especially for older properties or those with a complicated title history.
You can sell as a warranty deed... but this means you are warranting clean title and the buyer can come back to you, you should only provide a warranty deed if there's a title company/title insurance being purchased.
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.
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.
A quitclaim deed transfers the title of a property from one person to another, with little to no buyer protection. The grantor, the person giving away the property, gives their current deed to the grantee, the person receiving the property.
The grantor, representatives for the grantor, and anyone who may have received the property can contest a quitclaim deed. The process for contesting a quitclaim deed includes the following: Gathering evidence to support your claim. Following state laws and filing a legal challenge within the statute of limitations.
The type of deed you should use depends on the type of transaction and your desired level of protection. Generally, a quitclaim deed is ideal for situations involving only transfer of ownership between parties that explicitly trust one another and have no doubts about the title of the property.
In California, spouses have equal rights and responsibilities about the marital home and any mortgages that bind it: debts and property. The spouse gives up all rights to the property when he signs a quit claim deed but does not give up any responsibilities for the mortgage.
First, you need to make sure you fill out the quitclaim deed properly and get it notarized. Next, take the quitclaim deed to the County Recorder's Office. Make sure to file a Preliminary Change of Ownership Report and a Documentary of Transfer Tax or a Notice of Exempt Transaction.
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.
