Rhode Island Warranty Deed from Husband to Himself and Wife
What is this form?
The Warranty Deed from Husband to Himself and Wife is a legal document used to transfer property ownership from a husband to himself and his wife as joint tenants. This form ensures that both parties hold rights to the property, including the right of survivorship, meaning if one owner passes away, the other automatically inherits their share. This type of warranty deed is distinct from other forms, such as quitclaim deeds, as it provides a guarantee of clear title to the property, free from claims and encumbrances, unless otherwise noted.
