Deeds are documents used to transfer ownership in real property from one party, the Grantor, to another party, the Grantee.  Real property is land and anything attached thereto, such as a house, or barn, or crops, or trees.  The two most common deed forms are Warranty Deeds, called Grant Deeds in some jurisdictions, and Quitclaim Deeds.  While both deed forms are used to convey ownership interest in real property, there are very important differences.

A Warranty Deed transfers ownership from the Grantor to the Grantee, and the Grantor warrants that the title being transferred is clear and free of any claims against the title, except as specifically stated on the Warranty Deed.  That is, if a third party subsequently appears, claiming an ownership interest in the property, the Grantor will defend Grantee’s ownership or return the purchase consideration.  It is because of this liability on the Grantor that title insurance is frequently obtained.

A Quitclaim Deed transfers only that ownership interest in real property that the Grantor may have to the Grantee.  It does not warrant that the Grantor has any ownership interest nor does it warrant that other parties do not have ownership interest.  This form of deed does not leave the Grantor with any residual liability.  A typical use of this deed form is when one party to a divorce relinquishes his/her ownership interest in jointly owned real property.

A third fairly common deed form is a Deed of Trust or Trust Deed.  This deed form transfers title to a Trustee, typically as security for an obligation such as a mortgage or promissory note.  Usually a Deed of Trust spells out the details of the loan, and grants the lender the right to seize and sell the property in the event of default.  It also usually provides for the reconveyance of the property back to the Grantor upon satisfaction of the loan requirements.
