How to get a warranty deed

General

who can issue a warranty deed? Is it only title companies, or can a seller who owns the house outright also do it? I was experimenting with real estate forms and noticed there’s a warranty deed option. I know with a quitclaim deed, you can simply take it to the city or county and it’s transferred to you…

If you have questions about a title, you must contact an attorney in your area, such as your state, county, or township.

There are important differences between a warranty deed and a QC. A title company is not necessary in many, if not most, places to record a deed, but, before assuming that something is yours, you should consider your goals and the implications of your actions. For you, perhaps a consultation with a RE attorney is necessary.

Yes, without a doubt, but may someone ordinary like you and me provide a warranty deed? as we can swiftly assert deeds. Can we also create a warranty deed? Simply put, WD implies that no one can come to take your property away. If someone does try to do so, title insurance will cover it, but all title insurance policies have clauses that prevent them from covering a title defect if it isn’t publicly disclosed. (Public records and water bills are likewise accessible to the public.)

Here’s a simple procedure to follow:

  1. Type of Document: Deed of Transfer (e.g., Limited Warranty Deed, Quitclaim Deed)
  • Prior Fee Structure: $10.00 for the first page, $2.00 for each additional page.
  • New Fee: $25.00
  1. Type of Document: Security Instrument or Modification of Security Instrument (e.g., Security Deed, ALR)
  • Prior Fee Structure: $10.00 for the first page, $2.00 for each additional page.
  • New Fee: $25.00

  • Warranty Deed: Says you really own the property, can sell it, and there are no hidden problems with it.
  • Quitclaim Deed: Just transfers whatever ownership you have, but doesn’t promise there are no problems with the property.

In short, a warranty deed gives more protection to the buyer, while a quitclaim deed doesn’t offer the same guarantees.

It is usually prepared by an attorney, and it conveys an absolute transfer of title. Quit claim deeds can be completed by anyone, notarized, and submitted with the county.
