FAQ
Failure to record a deed effectively makes it impossible for the public to know about the transfer of a property. That means the legal owner of the property appears to be someone other than the buyer, a situation that can generate serious ramifications.
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.
Contrary to normal expectations, the Deed DOES NOT have to be recorded to be effective or to show delivery, and because of that, the Deed DOES NOT have to be signed in front of a Notary Public. However, if you plan to record it, then it does have to be notarized as that is a County Recorder requirement.
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.
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
To sign over property ownership to another person, you'll use one of two deeds: a quitclaim deed or a warranty deed.
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.
A warranty deed guarantees that: The grantor is the rightful owner of the property and has the legal right to transfer the title.The title would withstand third-party claims to ownership of the property. The grantor will do anything to ensure the grantee's title to the property.
