The California Real Estate Grant Deed
In California, a grant deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real property from one party (the grantor) to another party (the grantee).
The grant deed contains certain essential information such as the names of the grantor and grantee, the legal description of the property, and a statement that the grantor is conveying the property to the grantee.
Additionally, the grant deed may also include any special conditions or restrictions on the property, such as easements or covenants. The grantor must sign the grant deed in the presence of a notary public, and the document must be recorded with the county recorder's office where the property is located.
Once the grant deed has been recorded, the grantee becomes the official owner of the property and has legal rights and responsibilities associated with property ownership. The grant deed is an important legal document that provides proof of ownership and should be kept in a safe place for future reference.
