One of the most common types of legal documents we help clients with are deeds. Deeds are legal documents that transfer property ownership from one person or entity to another. There are several types of deeds, each with its own purpose and legal implications.

Quitclaim Deed

Grant Deed

Quitclaim Deed

A quitclaim deed is often used when property is transferred between family members or in situations where the property ownership is changing but no money is being exchanged. This type of deed makes no guarantees about the condition of the title or the property, and only transfers the ownership rights the seller had.

Grant Deed

A grant deed is a legal document used in real estate transactions to transfer the ownership of real property from one party (the grantor) to another party (the grantee). A grant deed is commonly used in California, although it may be used in other states as well. A grant deed includes certain guarantees that the grantor is making to the grantee. Specifically, the grantor guarantees that they have not transferred ownership of the property to anyone else, that the property is not subject to any undisclosed liens or encumbrances, and that the grantor has the legal right to transfer ownership of the property.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the difference between a grant/warranty deed and a quitclaim deed?

A grant/warranty deed is a type of deed used in Nevada where the grantor guarantees that they have the legal right to sell the property and that there are no undisclosed liens or encumbrances on the property. In contrast, a quitclaim, which is commonly used in California, is a deed that transfers the grantor’s interest in the property to the grantee without making any guarantees about the condition of the title or the property. A warranty deed is typically used in real estate transactions where the seller wants to provide the buyer with assurances about the condition of the property, while a quitclaim deed is often used to transfer ownership between family members or in situations where no money is being exchanged.

What happens after a deed is signed?

After a deed is signed, it must be notarized and recorded with the appropriate county recorder’s office. Recording the deed is important because it provides public notice of the transfer of ownership and helps to establish the grantee’s legal rights to the property. Once the deed has been recorded, the grantee becomes the legal owner of the property.

Can a deed be changed or canceled after it has been recorded?

Once a deed has been recorded, it becomes a part of the Arizona, California or Nevada public record and generally cannot be changed or canceled. However, there are some circumstances where a deed can be challenged or invalidated, such as if it was obtained through fraud or coercion.
