Mat N. Sorensen LEGAL SOLUTIONS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS AND INVESTORS http://www.matnsorensen.com Warranty Deed, Grant Deed, & Quit Claim Deed, What to Use? Author : mat When it comes to transferring property, such as our rental properties into LLCs and our personal residence into a Trust, it can be confusing understanding the differences between a Quit Claim Deed, Warranty Deed and other terms that may be thrown out. Some states use the term "Grant Deed", California being one of the most preeminent. The reality is that a Grant Deed can be used as a Quitclaim Deed OR a Warranty Deed. It essentially depends on the verbiage used inside the terms of the Deed itself. Bottom line- Make sure that you look at the language used in the deed itself. Don't think that because you have a Grant Deed you have all of the benefits of a Warranty Deed. Here is a brief description of each type of Deed: Quitclaim Deed- A quitclaim deed transfers whatever ownership interest a person has in a property. It makes no guarantees about the extent of the person's interest. Quitclaim deeds are also frequently used when there is a "cloud" on title -- that is, when a search reveals that a previous owner or some other individual, like the heir of a previous owner, may have some claim to the property. The transferor can sign a quitclaim deed to transfer any remaining interest. Warranty Deed- A warranty deed transfers ownership and explicitly promises the buyer that the transferor has good title to the property, meaning it is free of liens or claims of ownership. Also, whatever the 'title' of the deed is you may use, check the verbiage in the deed itself to understand what warranties you may be making, if any. The transferor guarantees that he or she will compensate the buyer if that turns out to be wrong. The warranty deed may make other promises as well, to address particular problems with the transaction. Our Recommendation- Always double check the 'local' state and county laws regarding the type of deed to use when transferring property and what the different types of deeds actually provide. HOWEVER, we generally recommend the Warranty Deed when transferring property to yourself, your trust, or your own company; because we want to make sure that the Title Policy and all of its benefits transfer to the Grantee of your deed. 1 / 1 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

A Primer on Deeds in Texas
A Primer on Deeds in Texas INTRODUCTION A deed is a written document that conveys legal title to real property. It is different from a promissory note or a real estate lien note, which is a promise to pay a sum of money to a lender; and a deed of trust, which provides a lender with remedies, including foreclosure, if a borrower defaults on a note. These three documents are the three principal documents in most Texas real estate transactions. There is no “standard form” for a deed. Texas does have, however, certain rules that apply if a deed is to be valid. For example, the intent to convey property must be clear from the wording; the property must be adequately described; and the deed must be signed and acknowledged by the grantor. This article addresses the deeds commonly used in Texas. RECORDING A DEED IS NOT A NECESSITY There is no requirement that a deed be recorded in the county clerk's real property records in order to be valid. The deed only needs to be executed and delivered to the grantee. At that time, the transfer is fully effective between grantor (seller) and grantee (buyer). Recording is simply used to give notice to the public of the transfer and, most importantly, establishes priority in the event a questionable seller gives more than one deed to the property. Recording makes it easier for title companies to research and insure the chain of title. Recording also informs the taxing authorities where they should send the ad valorem tax bill. PURCHASE PRICE NOT REQUIRED IN DEEDS In Texas, it is customary to recite that the consideration paid is “Ten dollars and other valuable consideration.” While recording gives the public notice that a transaction concerning the property took place, therefore, preserving the chain of title, it is believed that it is not the public´s business what the purchase price was.

An Access-Dictionary of Internationalist High Tech Latinate English Excerpted from Word Power, Public Speaking Confidence, and Dictionary-Based Learning, Copyright © 2007 by Robert Oliphant, columnist, Education News Author of The Latin-Old English Glossary in British Museum MS 3376 (Mouton, 1966) and A Piano for Mrs. Cimino (Prentice Hall, 1980) INTRODUCTION Strictly speaking, this is simply a list of technical terms: 30,680 of them presented in an alphabetical sequence of 52 professional subject fields ranging from Aeronautics to Zoology. Practically considered, though, every item on the list can be quickly accessed in the Random House Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary (RHU), updated second edition of 2007, or in its CD – ROM WordGenius® version. So what’s here is actually an in-depth learning tool for mastering the basic vocabularies of what today can fairly be called American-Pronunciation Internationalist High Tech Latinate English. Dictionary authority. This list, by virtue of its dictionary link, has far more authority than a conventional professional-subject glossary, even the one offered online by the University of Maryland Medical Center. American dictionaries, after all, have always assigned their technical terms to professional experts in specific fields, identified those experts in print, and in effect held them responsible for the accuracy and comprehensiveness of each entry. Even more important, the entries themselves offer learners a complete sketch of each target word (headword). Memorization. For professionals, memorization is a basic career requirement. Any physician will tell you how much of it is called for in medical school and how hard it is, thanks to thousands of strange, exotic shapes like <myocardium> that have to be taken apart in the mind and reassembled like pieces of an unpronounceable jigsaw puzzle.

Norvell THE DOCTRINE OF AFTER-ACQUIRED TITLE AND MINERAL CONVEYANCING By Professor Phillip Norvell University of Arkansas School of Law (Fayetteville) I. The Common Law Doctrine of Estoppel by Deed If a conveyance purports to transfer a certain estate, whether this appears from recitals, covenants, or any other part of the instrument, the grantor is estopped thereafter to assert that, by reason of his lack of title at the time, such an estate did not pass by the conveyance - to assert, in other words, that he acquired title after and not before the conveyance. 4 Tiffany Real Property § 1230 (3d ed. 1939). II. The Modern Strands of the Common Law7 Doctrine A. Estoppel by Misrepresentation (Estoppel in Pais). The grantor, having induced a change of position on the part of the grantee, the payment of purchase money, by his representation that he has an estate of a certain character, is thereafter estopped to deny that the conveyance passed the estate which it purported to pass, but also that the conveyance actually passes, by way of estoppel, any estate or title which the grantor may after acquire in the land.
