Warranty Deed Remove Conditional Fields For Free

In Texas, a deed must be in writing and signed by the person transferring the land. We call this the ?grantor.? The person the grantor transfers the land to is the ?grantee.? You do not have to use particular words to constitute a legally effective transfer.

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.

A traditional deed simply transfers the ownership of a property from one party to another (in other words, the seller to the buyer.) Whoever legally holds the deed is the rightful owner of the property. A warranty deed, on the other hand, contains special assurances that the seller makes to the buyer.

*A general warrant deed contains five covenants to include Covenant of Seisin, Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment, Covenant Against Encumbrances, Covenant of Further Assurance, and Covenant of a Warranty Forever. There is no Covenant of Exceptions and Reservations included.

A quitclaim deed is the opposite of a warranty deed in that the grantor is transferring title to a piece of property but is not warranting that they have good title to that property. A quitclaim deed only transfers whatever interest that the grantor has in the property at the time of the conveyance.

At Texas Property Deeds, all General Warranty Deeds are prepared by a Texas licensed attorney Board Certified by the Board of Legal Specialization in Residential Real Estate Law. Additionally, clear recording instructions are included with each document we prepare.

As a property owner and grantor, you can obtain a warranty deed for the transfer of real estate through a local realtor's office, or with an online search for a template. To make the form legally binding, you must sign it in front of a notary public.

A general warranty deed must include the following to be valid: The name and address of the seller (called the grantor) The name and address of the buyer (called the grantee) A legal description of the property (found on the previous deed) A statement that the grantor is transferring the property to the grantee.

Quitclaim Deeds are used when the transfer of ownership in the property does not occur as the result of a traditional sale.Under a warranty deed, if it turns out that the property is not what the seller promised or there's an uncleared lien or other block to the title, the buyer can sue the seller and recover damages.

A quitclaim deed affects ownership and the name on the deed, not the mortgage. Because quitclaim deeds expose the grantee to certain risks, they are most often used between family members and where there is no exchange of money.Quitclaim deeds transfer title but do not affect mortgages.
