FAQ
A grantee is the recipient of something, such as a college grant or real estate property. A grantor is a person or entity that transfers to another person or entity the interest or ownership rights to an asset. Legal documents, such as deeds, detail the transfer of assets between grantors and grantees.
A warranty deed, also known as a general warranty deed, is a legal real estate document between the seller (grantor) and the buyer (grantee). The deed protects the buyer by pledging that the seller holds clear title to the property and there are no encumbrances, outstanding liens, or mortgages against it.
The Grantee is the buyer, recipient, new owner, or lien holder. When "vs." appears on legal documents, the Grantor is on the bottom, the Grantee is on the top. Petitioner is the Grantee; Respondent is the Grantor.
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.
The two parties involved in a warranty deed are the seller or owner, also known as the grantor, and the buyer or the grantee. Either party can be an individual or a business, and are often strangers to each other.
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
Grantor's signature: The grantor must sign the deed for it to be valid. Usually, if more than one person owns a property, all the owners must sign. In some states a husband or wife who own property by themselves may have to have the spouse also sign the deed even though the spouse does not have title to the property.
No, in most states, the Grantee is not required to sign the Quitclaim Deed. However, some counties do require that the Quitclaim Deed be signed by the Grantee in addition to the Grantor.
No, California does not require that the Grantee sign a warranty deed. However, some states and counties require that the deed be signed by the Grantee in addition to the Grantor.
