What Are the Different Types of Property Deeds?
There are many different types of property deeds used to convey real property from a seller (grantor) to a buyer (grantee). Deeds include a granting clause that actually conveys the property and end with a habendum clause that describes the type of estate that is conveyed. Deeds are delineated by the types of warranty they include, if any. The most common form of deed used to transfer property is the warranty deed. These deeds make certain assurances to the grantee that the title to the property is free of encumbrances, such as liens, up to a specific point in the history of the property’s ownership. However, other types of deeds are sometimes used to convey property.
