Special Warranty Deed Nevada

California Property TaxesTransferring real property to yourself as trustee of your own revocable living trust -- or back to yourself -- does not trigger a reassessment for property tax purposes. (Cal. Rev. & Tax Code § 62(d).)

When you're ready to transfer trust real estate to the beneficiary who is named in the trust document to receive it, you'll need to prepare, sign, and record a deed. That's the document that transfers title to the property from you, the trustee, to the new owner.

Locate the deed that's in trust. Use the proper deed. Check with your title insurance company and lender. Prepare a new deed. Sign in the presence of a notary. Record the deed in the county clerk's office.

Special warranties allow the transfer of property title between seller and buyer. The purchase of title insurance can mitigate the risk of prior claims to the special warranty deed.

A quitclaim deed can be used to transfer property from a trust, but a Special Warranty Deed seems to be a more common way to do this.

While a general warranty deed guarantees against all encumbrances and claims to title, a limited warranty deed protects only against claims made after the seller obtained title to the property. A limited warranty deed therefore makes no guarantees about anything that occurred before the seller owned the property.

In order to make the Warranty Deed legally binding, the Seller needs to sign it front of a notary public. Then signed and notarized deed must be filed at the city or county office for recording property documents. Before filing with this office all previously billed property taxes must be paid in full.

Typically, the lender will provide you with a copy of the deed of trust after the closing. The original warranty deeds are often mailed to the grantee after they are recorded. 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.

In the context of a California mortgage transaction, a trust deed also transfer ownership. Only this time, the title is being placed in the hands of a third-party trustee, who holds the property on behalf of the lender and the homeowner-borrower until the mortgage is paid.
