A warranty deed guarantees that: The grantor is the rightful owner of the property and has the legal right to transfer the title.The title would withstand third-party claims to ownership of the property. The grantor will do anything to ensure the grantee's title to the property.
Let's start with the definition of a deed: DEED: A written instrument by which one party, the Grantor, conveys the title of ownership in property to another party, the Grantee. A Warranty Deed contains promises, called covenants, that the Grantor makes to the Grantee.
It's important to note that a warranty deed does not actually prove the grantor has ownership (a title search is the best way to prove that), but it is a promise by the grantor that they are transferring ownership and if it turns out they don't actually own the property, the grantor will be responsible for compensating
The deed must be presented to and accepted by the grantee, and it should be filed of record in the county clerk's office to put the public on notice of the transfer. Failure to file the deed can subject the property to future claims by other parties. Most commonly, a grantor provides a general warranty deed.
A property deed, or house deed, is a legal document that transfers ownership of real estate from the grantor (seller) to the grantee (buyer). Property deeds are the legal tool of defining ownership. When a property or house is sold, the buyer and seller sign the deed to transfer ownership.
