A grant deed is a legal instrument that is used to transfer ownership of real estate from the prior
owner (the grantor) to the new owner (the grantee), also known as a special or limited warranty
deed. Grant deeds guarantee .
The grantor has not given the property to a third party, and besides what is stated in the deed, the
property was free and clear when the grantor held title. Any title flaws that might have existed
before taking ownership of the property are not covered by the grantor’s warranty.
A grant deed must be in writing and contain the grantor and grantee names as well as the lot
number, tract number, city, county, and state of the property being transferred.
It offers better protection to the buyer than a disclaimer, but less than a general warranty. To be
valid, the supporting deed must contain the name of the grantor and recipient, a description of the
property to be transferred, the words of the assignment and the signature of the grantor. Some
states require a notary public to witness the transfer of the deed.
A deed is a legal document, upon execution and transfer of which ownership or ownership of
property is transferred from the seller to the buyer. There are different types of documents,
including discharge documents, general warranty documents and ancillary documents. Each
procedure offers different protections (and risks) to buyers and sellers.
The grant agreement contains two guarantees: that the grantor has acquired the right of
ownership and that the real estate is unencumbered by the grantor. It contains all the information
needed to pay court costs if it is necessary to defend ownership. It also does not guarantee claims
made prior to ownership. This type of deed offers less protection to the buyer than a general
warranty deed, a document in which the donor guarantees absolutely clear ownership; however,
a grant deed offers greater protection to buyers than a waiver, which has no express or implied
covenants or guarantees.

Supporting documents are often used to transfer real estate in connection with taxes and
foreclosures. Exemption documents are considered to be intermediate between freedom
documents and general guarantee documents because they provide protection between the two.
There are several supporting documents depending on who is transferring the property to whom.
For example, a spousal transfer assistance deed is used to transfer real estate from one spouse to
another (often in connection with a divorce). All documents must have the name of the donor
and beneficiary, the date, an overview of the donated property and the signature of the donor.
Most documents require a notary stamp and witness signatures.
In addition to the above, the support book contains an extract on the included warranties. The
general content and form of the grant deed depends on the laws of the country where the real
estate is located.
