A deed is void at its inception if it attempts to transfer property to an inadequately designed grantee. Delivery and acceptance of the deed is presumed if it has been recorded. Both the grantor and the grantee sign the deed.

The grantor is also responsible for ensuring the deed is delivered to the grantee. Before the grantee accepts the deed at closing, their attorney will perform a title search to ensure that the property is free of liens.
