A deed is a legal document that transfers ownership of real estate from one party to another. It establishes the buyer’s rights to the property and defines any guarantees (or lack thereof) regarding the title. Choosing the right type of deed is critical to protecting your ownership rights and financial interests.
Our attorneys can help you:
A Quitclaim Deed is a simple way to transfer property ownership, but it provides no guarantees about the title. It simply transfers whatever interest the seller has in the property, even if that interest is unclear or disputed.
Common Uses:

Two Types of Warranty Deeds:
Best for: Traditional real estate sales, commercial transactions, and any situation where clear title is essential.
A Deed Without Warranty is a hybrid between a Quitclaim Deed and a Warranty Deed. It transfers ownership like a Warranty Deed but makes no title guarantees like a Quitclaim Deed.
Best for:
