FAQ
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.
The original deed is returned to the owner of the property from the office of the recorder after proper entry. The office of the Recorder of Deeds maintains a set of indexes about each deed recorded, for an easy search. Almost all states have a grantor-grantee index including a reference to all documents recorded.
Joint owners have rights that are defined by the type of ownership method chosen. The term "co-owner" implies that more than one person has an ownership percentage of the property. Joint ownership, in its three common forms, refines and defines the rights of the co-owners.

Find the most recent deed to the property. It is best to begin with a copy of the most recent deed to the property (the deed that transferred the property to the current grantor). Create a new deed. Sign and notarize the deed. File the documents in the county land records.
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
The deed must be presented to and accepted by the grantee, and it should be filed of record in the county clerk's office to put the public on notice of the transfer. Failure to file the deed can subject the property to future claims by other parties. Most commonly, a grantor provides a general warranty deed.
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.
