Visit Your County Recorder's Office Quitclaim deeds are part of public record.
When you buy a home, you need both the deed and the title; one isn't better than the other. The title is the concept of legal ownership while the deed is the document that proves ownership. Moreover, you can't have a valid house deed if you don't hold title.
For a deed to be valid, it must contain several essential elements, including the operative words of conveyance, description of the property, signatures, delivery, proper formatting and execution, absence of defects and encumbrances, legal capacity of parties, proper recording, and voluntary execution.
The grantor must sign the deed form and that signature must be properly acknowledged by a notary public. All signatures must be original; we cannot accept photocopies. A complete description of the property including the village, town, county and state where the property is located must also be included on the form.
To have copies of recorded documents such as deeds, liens, and others mailed to you, go to the Official Records Index.
You can obtain a copy of your Grant Deed directly from the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk. No third party assistance is needed.
Many people assume that a property deed and title are the same, but they are not. One is a document, while the other is a legal concept. When someone owns a property outright, they have both legal title and a deed. However, there are circumstances where you can have one without the other.
Does a Quitclaim Deed Expire? A quitclaim deed does not expire because it permanently transfers ownership from one party to another. That being said, the new deed must be filed with the county clerk's office to record the official transfer. If the new deed is not recorded, it can create legal and financial challenges.
It restricts the ability of the grantor to modify the beneficiaries or the distribution of assets, potentially compromising the rights of other potential heirs. Moreover, retaining the property with a TOD deed could lead to increased tax obligations, for example, capital gains tax, based on the inheritance value.
