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.
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.

After your Warranty Deed has been recorded at the County Clerk's Office, it can be sent to the grantee. However, any person or corporation can be designated as the recipient of the recorded Warranty Deed.
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 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.
The mortgage company usually prepares this deed as part of the loan package and delivers it to the title company for you to sign at closing. The title company is commonly the trustee to the deed and holds legal title to the property until the loan gets fully repaid.
