New York Warranty Deed for Four Individuals to Two Individuals as Tenants in Common
What is this form?
The Warranty Deed for Four Individuals to Two Individuals as Tenants in Common is a legal document used to transfer property ownership. In this case, it involves four individuals (the grantors) transferring the property title to two individuals (the grantees) who will hold the title as tenants in common. This type of deed ensures that each owner has an undivided interest in the property, allowing them to share rights without the property being owned equally. It differs from other types of deeds by specifying the arrangement between the co-owners and the manner in which they hold the property title.

FAQ
It's important to note that a warranty deed does not actually prove the grantor has ownership (a title search is the best way to prove that), but it is a promise by the grantor that they are transferring ownership and if it turns out they don't actually own the property, the grantor will be responsible for compensating
The two parties involved in a warranty deed are the seller or owner, also known as the grantor, and the buyer or the grantee. Either party can be an individual or a business, and are often strangers to each other.
A warranty deed guarantees that: The grantor is the rightful owner of the property and has the legal right to transfer the title.The title would withstand third-party claims to ownership of the property. The grantor will do anything to ensure the grantee's title to the property.
DEED: A written instrument by which one party, the Grantor, conveys the title of ownership in property to another party, the Grantee. A Warranty Deed contains promises, called covenants, that the Grantor makes to the Grantee.It is even possible that the Grantor does not have any title or ownership interest at all!
