FAQ
Master Deed/Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions It is filed with the county clerk's office where the community is located and outlines the physical boundaries of the property, including common areas, limited common elements or areas, and individual units/lots.
Ownership of a inium unit is evidenced by a inium certificate of title. With respect to real property other than land and inium units, there is no system that is equivalent to the Torrens system for registration under which a document is issued to evidence the owner's title.
A general warranty deed is the most common because it has the highest form of protection for the buyer. It guarantees there are no current or prior issues with the home or its title that the buyer is unaware of.
Inium is a Latin word that means "Owning property together." That's what it is like when someone buys a condo unit. They have an "interest" in the land beneath the building, but the building's association owns the actual land.
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. In a worst-case scenario, the buyer can sue the seller if they find out that the property had any liens or claims against it.
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 New Jersey, transferring real property using TOD deeds upon the owner's death isn't permitted by law. Therefore, real estate in the state typically goes through the probate process, unless it's held in a trust or owned jointly with rights of survivorship.
The deed must be signed in ink by the Grantors in the presence of a notary public, with the Grantors' names printed below the signatures. Contrary to popular belief, the Grantors' signatures do not need to be witnessed (other than by a notary). The deed does not need to be signed by the Grantees (buyers).
The master deed is one of the documents that transfer property to be owned by the inium. It includes a description of the land and buildings, a description of what is the common area and what the individual owners own, a determination of percentage interest, a plot plan, and use restrictions.
