FAQs
The most common conveyancing instruments are warranty deeds and quitclaim deeds. A warranty deed provides the buyer with a guarantee of clear title, while a quitclaim deed transfers only the interest the grantor currently holds, without any title warranties.
Deeds and many other real estate instruments in Colorado typically require notarization. Notarization confirms the identity of the signing party and is generally required before a document can be recorded with the county.
A lease locks both parties into a fixed term, most often one year, providing stability and predictability. A month-to-month rental agreement renews automatically each month and can be ended by either the landlord or the tenant with proper written notice.
Many real estate document types apply to both residential and commercial property, but the terms, disclosures, and legal considerations can differ significantly. It is worth reviewing any template carefully to confirm it fits the nature of the property involved.
A life estate deed grants a person — the life tenant — the right to use and occupy real property for the duration of their lifetime. When the life tenant passes away, ownership passes automatically to the remainderman named in the deed, which can help avoid probate on that property.
