A gift deed can be a General Warranty Deed or a Special Warranty Deed which states that the property is a Gift. The gift deed transfers ownership of property as a gift; the person providing the gift, the grantor, expects nothing in return for the transfer.If the transfer is a gift or no money is being paid we recommend using a Gift Deed. A Gift Deed is simply a Warranty Deed where nothing is given for the deed. A warranty deed will be held to be a purchase and not a gift, and gift deed will be a gift. Parol evidence will not be received to contradict the instrument. A special warranty deed guarantees some protection for the buyer but not as much as a general warranty deed. A Texas deed may come in one of several different forms; it could be a special warranty deed, a general warranty deed, a transfer on death deed, or a gift deed. Gift deeds transfer title to real property from one party to another with no exchange of consideration, monetary or otherwise. Gift deeds are one option in Texas for transferring real property to someone who is not included on the original deed.
