This type of deed is often used in a foreclosure auction or bank sale of a piece of real estate, and the nature of the deal makes it harder (if not impossible) to guarantee that there are no other claims of ownership.<\/p>\n
What are Grant Deeds? <\/span><\/h2>\nA deed of ownership is a written and signed legal instrument that is used to transfer ownership of real estate from the previous owner (the settlor) to the new owner (the beneficiary). Historically, real property was transferred through a ceremonial act known as the \u201clivery of referral\u201d. In this act, the person transferring the land handed over a twig or sod from the land to the person taking delivery of the land.<\/p>\n
A verbal or written statement often accompanied the gesture, although it was the livery of the seizure that legally transferred title to the property. Today, the title of real estate is conveyed by a done paper.<\/p>\n
A person who is competent to enter into a valid contract is considered competent to be a grantor. The licensor and the concessionaire must be identified in such a way as to be verifiable. The property must be adequately described. The transport slogans must be present. All Standard Form Deeds include the necessary legal language that actually transfers ownership.<\/p>\n
The deed must be signed by the settlor (s) if the property belongs to more than one person. The beneficiary or a person acting on their behalf must be given the deed in a legal way. They must be accepted by the beneficiary. Most of the time, the concessionaire will accept the deed, but in some cases, the concessionaire may refuse to accept the deed.<\/p>\n

Grant Deed California<\/span><\/h2>\nCalifornia law allows for the use of three different types of deeds to transfer title to real estate. A grant deed is an intermediate-level deed because it guarantees the title of the property more than a quitclaim deed but less than a warranty deed.<\/p>\n
