A Tempe Arizona Warranty Deed for Husband and Wife Converting Property from Tenants in Common to Joint Tenancy is a legal document that enables married couples to transfer ownership of a property from a tenancy in common (TIC) to a joint tenancy. This deed is required to officially change the form of ownership and provides a guarantee, known as a warranty, that the property is free from any defects, liens, or claims. When spouses initially hold a property as tenants in common, each partner has an individual share of ownership and can dispose of their share independently. However, converting to joint tenancy changes the ownership structure to ensure that if one spouse passes away, the other automatically inherits the entire property, bypassing the need for probate. There are a few different types of Tempe Arizona Warranty Deed for Husband and Wife Converting Property from Tenants in Common to Joint Tenancy, including: 1. General Warranty Deed: This type of deed provides the highest level of protection to the buyer (spouse) as it guarantees that the property is free from any defects or claims, even before the couple acquired the property. 2. Special Warranty Deed: While it also guarantees that the property is free from defects or claims during the period the couple owned it, a special warranty deed only covers the time frame when the spouses owned the property. It does not offer protection against potential issues that may have existed before their ownership began. 3. Quitclaim Deed: This type of deed is the least protective for the buyer as it transfers the ownership interest the seller (spouse) may have in the property without any warranty or guarantee. It simply states that if the spouse has any ownership interest, it is being transferred to the other spouse. This deed does not provide protection against possible defects, liens, or claims on the property. Regardless of the specific type of warranty deed used, it is crucial to consult with an attorney or a real estate professional experienced in property transactions to ensure all legal requirements are met and the appropriate deed is utilized.A Tempe Arizona Warranty Deed for Husband and Wife Converting Property from Tenants in Common to Joint Tenancy is a legal document that enables married couples to transfer ownership of a property from a tenancy in common (TIC) to a joint tenancy.
