Oklahoma Warranty Deed from Individual to a Trust
What this document covers
The Warranty Deed from Individual to a Trust is a legal document used to transfer property ownership from an individual (the grantor) to a trust (the grantee). This form includes a warranty that the property is free from any prior encumbrances, except for specific reservations, such as oil, gas, and minerals. Unlike other property transfer forms, this warranty deed provides additional security to the grantee by ensuring the grantor warrants the title against claims.
