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
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 original deed is returned to the owner of the property from the office of the recorder after proper entry.

Almost all states have a grantor-grantee index including a reference to all documents recorded.
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.
