No, a warranty deed does not prove ownership. A title search is the best way to prove that a grantor rightfully owns a property. The warranty deed is a legal document that offers the buyer protection. In other words, the property title and warranty deed work in tandem together.
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.
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.
While a traditional warranty deed involves a grantor and a grantee, a deed of trust includes three parties. These are the lender (the beneficiary), the borrower (the trustor) and the trustee, a third party that might be a title company.
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.
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.
In Texas, a quitclaim deed conveys only the grantor's rights, if any, in the real property. A quitclaim deed contains no warranties of any kind and does not establish title in the person holding the deed.
It is also important to understand that in Texas, a valid deed must be drafted by an attorney. Simply writing up a deed on your own and having it notarized does not make the document legally binding.
