A deed conveys the ownership of property from a grantor (seller) to a grantee (buyer). After completing, it is recorded in the local Registry of Deeds. Transferring the property may incur transfer taxes which must be paid at the time of recording to the clerk.

Deeds: By Type (3)

There are 3  popular ways to convey property:

General Warranty Deed – Guarantees title for the Grantor’s time on the Property (the Seller) and also during the time for all previous owners of the real estate (also known as ‘fee simple).

Quit Claim Deed – Mainly for situations when the owner of real estate transfers due to business, divorce, litigation, or between family. Typically, there is not a financial transfer from the party receiving title to the party that is granting it. There is no guarantee given by the transferring party that there aren’t any defects to the title of the property.

Special Warranty Deed – Less common but still useful in some instances, this type guarantees the rights to the title during the timespan of the selling party. In other words, special deeds do not guarantee the title for any prior owners of the land other than the seller.

How to Write

Step 1 – The writer of the Deed will want to verify with the County Registry to ensure that the Grantor (Seller) is, in fact, the owner of the Property. When viewing the deed it should detail how the said deed was transferred to the Grantor. It will usually read one of three (3) options: General Warranty, Quit-Claim, or Special Warranty. Barring any setbacks by the Title Insurance Company, it will be the same deed type.

Step 2 – Input the information of the Buyer and Seller or Grantee and Grantor respectively. After the monetary transaction has occurred the deed may be recorded with the County Registry and the transaction has been completed.
