A Deed of Trust in Texas transfers title of real property in trust. It is the equivalent to a mortgage used in other states and provides a secured interest for a lender against real estate. It is often used as part of a real estate transaction that includes a Warranty Deed with a Vendor's Lien and a Promissory Note.
To start, a “Deed” is the name of the most common document used to transfer title of real estate. And the most common deeds are the General Warranty Deed and the Special Warranty Deed. The primary difference between these two deeds is the extent of the “warranties” the seller is giving to the buyer.
A warranty deed does not actually prove ownership of a property. The best way to establish ownership is through a title search, which examines public records to determine if any liens, third-party claims, or other issues could affect ownership.
The term “Grant Deed” is not generally used in Texas as it is in other states. A Texas Warranty Deed is a Grant Deed. A Grant Deed is a deed that transfers or “grants” an interest in real property. All of the requirements for a Grant Deed are the same as a Warranty Deed.
Warranty Deeds A warranty deed offers the same promises as a grant deed, and then some. The owner of a property is guaranteeing that they have the full right to sell and transfer the property, and that the property is clear of any present or future claims, such as liens and taxes.
The general warranty deed is the most commonly used deed in Texas. It's important for a seller to be aware of the potential liabilities created when real property is conveyed by general warranty deed.
