FAQs
Warranty deeds and quitclaim deeds are the most widely used. A warranty deed provides title guarantees, while a quitclaim deed simply transfers the grantor's existing interest. Arizona also recognizes life estate deeds, including enhanced life estate arrangements that allow the grantor to retain control during their lifetime.
Notarization is generally required for deeds before they can be recorded with the county recorder's office. Recording gives public notice of the ownership transfer and helps protect the new owner's interest in the property.
Real property — also referred to as immovable property or realty — includes land, buildings, and fixtures permanently attached to the land. Personal property covers movable items. The distinction matters in real estate transactions because only real property transfers through a deed.
Verbal agreements may be legally recognized in some situations, but a written lease provides clear documentation of the rent amount, lease term, rules, and each party's obligations. A written agreement significantly reduces the likelihood of disputes.
Fee simple is the most complete form of real property ownership — the owner holds the property outright with full rights to use, sell, or pass it on as heritable property. Most residential sales in Arizona result in fee simple ownership.
