Deed With Covenant

Buying property with this type of deed is not necessarily a bad idea, but it is advisable to take some precautions. If possible, a title search should be conducted to look for any clouds on the title and to see how difficult it would be to release them.

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.

In its most basic form, a bargain and sale deed includes a warranty that the grantor has title to the property but does not guarantee that the property is free of claims.In contrast, a grantee would prefer a general warranty deed because it gives them the most protection possible.

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

Bargain and sale deeds are generally used to transfer the grantor's entire interest in the property at the time of conveyance without any warranties of title.Unlike quitclaim deeds, bargain and sale deeds imply that the grantor holds an actual interest in the property being conveyed.

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.

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.
