The General Warranty Deed from Husband and Wife to a Trust is a legal document used to transfer property ownership from a married couple (the grantors) to a trust (the grantee). This form guarantees that the grantors hold a clear title to the property and have the right to transfer it, while also reserving any rights to oil, gas, and minerals beneath the property.
