Description

This is a general warranty deed to joint tenants with right of survivorship. A Washington General Warranty Deed (To Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship) is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real estate in Washington state. This type of deed ensures that the property being transferred is free from any encumbrances or defects in title, providing a guarantee to the new owners (joint tenants) that they hold clear and marketable title. When using a General Warranty Deed, the joint tenants have the right of survivorship. This means that if one tenant passes away, their interest in the property automatically transfers to the surviving joint tenant(s) without the need for probate proceedings. By establishing joint tenancy with right of survivorship, the owners can avoid potential complications and delays in transferring ownership upon the death of a co-owner. The Washington General Warranty Deed includes several key elements. It should clearly identify the parties involved in the transaction, both the granter (seller or current owner) and the grantee (buyer or new owner). Additionally, it will provide an accurate legal description of the property, which may include the lot of number, plat name, and any other necessary details to accurately identify the land. The deed will also contain covenants or warranties made by the granter, guaranteeing the following: 1. Covenant of Basin: The granter holds legal title to the property and has the right to transfer it. 2. Covenant of Right to Convey: The granter has the authority to transfer the property and that there are no restrictions preventing it. 3. Covenant against Encumbrances: The property is free from any encumbrances, liens, or claims, except those specifically mentioned in the deed. 4. Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment: The grantee will have undisturbed possession of the property without any interference from the granter or any third parties. 5. Covenant of Warranty: The granter will defend the title against any claims arising from before the transfer. These covenants provide significant protection to the grantee, ensuring they receive not only clear title but also legal recourse if any issues arise. Unlike other types of deeds, the General Warranty Deed provides the broadest protection and allows the grantee to seek damages from the granter in case of title defects or encumbrances. It's worth noting that while the Washington General Warranty Deed (To Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship) is the most commonly used type of warranty deed, there are other variations available. These could include different types of warranty deeds, such as the Washington Special Warranty Deed or the Quitclaim Deed. However, each has its own characteristics and provides different levels of protection to the grantee. In conclusion, a Washington General Warranty Deed (To Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship) is a legal instrument used to transfer ownership of real estate in the state of Washington. It ensures that the new owners receive clear and marketable title to the property, free from encumbrances or defects.
