Virginia Warranty Deed from Individual to LLC
Understanding this form
The Warranty Deed from Individual to LLC is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real estate from an individual (the grantor) to a limited liability company (the grantee). This form ensures that the property is conveyed free of encumbrances, except for specified reservations such as oil, gas, and minerals. It distinctly outlines the rights and responsibilities associated with the property transfer, making it different from other types of deeds, like quitclaim deeds or general warranty deeds, by emphasizing specific warranties from the grantor regarding the title.

FAQ
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 mortgage company usually prepares this deed as part of the loan package and delivers it to the title company for you to sign at closing. The title company is commonly the trustee to the deed and holds legal title to the property until the loan gets fully repaid.
After your Warranty Deed has been recorded at the County Clerk's Office, it can be sent to the grantee. However, any person or corporation can be designated as the recipient of the recorded Warranty Deed.
The original deed is returned to the owner of the property from the office of the recorder after proper entry. The office of the Recorder of Deeds maintains a set of indexes about each deed recorded, for an easy search. Almost all states have a grantor-grantee index including a reference to all documents recorded.
A special warranty deed is a common form of conveyance in Virginia that is used to transfer title to real estate. Unless an exception is made in the deed, all appurtenances, buildings, and privileges belonging to the land being conveyed will be included in the conveyance (55.1-303).
Locate the most recent deed to the property. Create the new deed. Sign and notarize the new deed. Record the deed in the land records of the clerk's office of the circuit court in the jurisdiction where the property is located.

These are your original copies and should be kept in a safe place, such as a fireproof lockbox or a safe deposit box at a financial institution.
