Looking for sample property deeds? No matter what types of deeds you need, you will find it here from our complete collection of free property deed forms.
In the simplest of terms, a deed is simply a legal document that transfers the ownership of real estate. Whenever a property changes hands, it has to be done in writing and that writing is a real estate deed.
We all have different reasons and ways to transfer property - That's why we have taken the pains to include all major types of property deeds for you.
New to real estate and wondering which deed will be right for you? No worries we have tagged every single deed with a plain English explanation so you know exactly which one to choose:
General Warranty Deed
Do you want to get your hands on a good and clear property title? Then make use of our general warranty deed for a complete and worry-free transfer of ownership. Since this deed offers the best protection to the grantee, we highly recommend it for property buyers.
Special Warranty Deed
A special warranty deed is similar to its general warranty cousin above with one critical difference - The grantor (seller) is only responsible for property title problems during his or her ownership.
If you just so happen to hail from California, it's helpful to know that special warranty deeds aren't all that popular in the Golden State. Instead they prefer to work with a California Grant Deed that performs just about the same magic.
Bargain and Sale Deed
In a bargain and sale deed, the grantor (seller) makes no promises that the property title is free from debt or any other problems. The grantee (buyer) is buying the property "as-is". As you can tell, this deed clearly favors the property seller.
