Document background
A Grant Deed is commonly used in United States property transactions when transferring real estate ownership. It provides more protection than a Quitclaim Deed but less than a Warranty Deed, making it a popular choice for standard property transfers. The document includes the parties' information, property description, and implied warranties about the grantor's right to transfer. It must comply with state-specific requirements and be recorded in the appropriate jurisdiction. Grant Deeds are particularly common in states like California, where they are the standard form of property transfer document.
