Similar documents: key differences

  • Warranty Deed vs. Quitclaim Deed — warranty includes title assurances; quitclaim conveys whatever interest exists, with no promises.
  • Mortgage vs. Deed of Trust — both create rights in a lender to secure repayment of funds loaned to a borrower; deed of trust adds a trustee who may handle sale on default.
  • Lease vs. Lease-Purchase Agreement — lease is tenancy only; lease-purchase adds an agreed path to buy.
  • Addendum vs. Amendment — addendum adds new terms; amendment changes existing terms.
  • Earnest Money Deposit vs. Down Payment — earnest money shows buyer intent now; down payment funds the closing.
  • Lady Bird Deed vs. Enhanced Life Estate Deed — the same document; “Lady Bird” is a nickname for the enhanced life estate deed. Another synonym is “beneficiary deed.”
