Michigan Warranty Deed from Individual to LLC
Overview of this form
The Warranty Deed from Individual to LLC is a legal document used to transfer ownership of property from an individual (the grantor) to a limited liability company (the grantee). This form ensures that the grantor conveys and warrants the property, while also reserving rights to any oil, gas, and minerals beneath the land, if applicable.

FAQ
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 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.
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.
Let's start with the definition of a deed: DEED: A written instrument by which one party, the Grantor, conveys the title of ownership in property to another party, the Grantee. A Warranty Deed contains promises, called covenants, that the Grantor makes to the Grantee.
Retrieve your original deed. Get the appropriate deed form. Draft the deed. Sign the deed before a notary. Record the deed with the county recorder. Obtain the new original deed.
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
Quitclaim Deeds are used when the transfer of ownership in the property does not occur as the result of a traditional sale.Under a warranty deed, if it turns out that the property is not what the seller promised or there's an uncleared lien or other block to the title, the buyer can sue the seller and recover damages.
Find the most recent deed to the property. Create the new deed. Sign and notarize the deed. File the deed in the county land records.
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.
