Idaho Deed, also known as Idaho Real Estate Deed, is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real property located in the state of Idaho. It serves as proof of ownership and establishes a clear record of the property's transfer from one party to another. Idaho Deeds are governed by the Idaho Statutes, specifically Title 55, and must comply with the state's specific legal requirements. There are several types of Idaho Deeds, each serving different purposes and providing varying levels of protection for the buyer and seller. Some commonly used types of Idaho Deeds include: 1. Warranty Deed: This is the most common type of deed used in Idaho and provides the highest level of protection for the buyer. It guarantees that the seller has clear and marketable title to the property and promises to defend the buyer against any future claims or defects in the title. 2. Special Warranty Deed: Similar to a Warranty Deed, but with limited protection. This type of deed guarantees that the seller has clear title to the property during their ownership, but does not offer protection against potential issues prior to their ownership. 3. Quitclaim Deed: A Quitclaim Deed is often used when transferring property between family members or in situations where the transfer of ownership is not based on a traditional sale. It makes no guarantees about the property's title and only transfers the interest or claim that the granter (seller) has to the grantee (buyer). 4. Grant Deed: Grant Deeds are commonly used to transfer property in Idaho and include some warranties from the granter to the grantee. The warranties provided usually include that the property has not been sold to someone else and that the granter has not encumbered the property except as disclosed in the deed. 5. Sheriff's Deed: This type of deed is issued by the county sheriff as a result of a foreclosure or execution sale. It transfers ownership of the property to the buyer, often a judgment creditor or a successful bidder at the auction. When preparing an Idaho Deed, it is crucial to include specific elements such as the names of the granter (seller) and grantee (buyer), a legal description of the property, and any encumbrances or liens attached to the property. It is highly recommended consulting with a qualified attorney or a real estate professional to ensure the deed is properly executed and meets all legal requirements in Idaho.
