Michigan Warranty Deed from Corporation to Husband and Wife
What this document covers
The Warranty Deed from Corporation to Husband and Wife is a legal document used to transfer ownership of property from a corporation (the Grantor) to a married couple (the Grantees). This specific type of warranty deed not only conveys ownership but also includes warranties that protect the Grantees against any future claims on the property. Unlike other deeds, it specifically reserves any oil, gas, and mineral rights, making it essential for ensuring clarity over property rights in the transfer. This form provides the necessary legal protections and is compliant with state statutory laws.
Form components explained

- Description of the property being conveyed, including legal description and prior instrument references.
- Reservation clause for oil, gas, and minerals owned by the Grantor.
- Conditions of joint tenancy for the Grantees with rights of survivorship.

When this form is needed
This form should be used when a corporation is transferring real estate to a married couple, particularly when the couple wishes to hold the property as joint tenants with rights of survivorship.

It is also useful in transactions involving gift transfers or property sales between closely-held corporations and individual owners.
