Understanding Deed Types: Grant, Bargain & Sale vs. Quitclaim vs. Warranty vs. TOD Deeds

Описание: What are the different types of deeds, and how do they affect property ownership transfers?

In this educational video, we compare the most common deed types used in real property transactions, including Grant, Bargain & Sale deeds, Quitclaim deeds, Warranty deeds, and Transfer on Death (TOD) deeds. Seeing these deed types side by side helps clarify what each deed does — and just as importantly, what it does not do.

This lesson explains how each deed type differs in:

Timing of transfer (immediate vs. delayed)
Promises or warranties made by the grantor
Risk allocation between grantor and grantee
Typical use cases in real-world transactions

Designed for Licensed Document Preparers, paralegals, real estate professionals, and anyone who prepares or reviews deeds, this video emphasizes why accurately understanding deed distinctions is essential for ethical document preparation and protecting the public record.
