What is grant deed?
A Taxable Individual Grant Deed is a legal document through which an individual (as opposed to a corporation) transfers ownership of real property to another party, with the transaction subject to certain taxes. This type of deed is commonly used in real estate transactions where the transfer of property from the grantor (the individual seller) to the grantee (the buyer) involves the exchange of monetary consideration or other taxable events as defined by law. The deed explicitly outlines the property being transferred, the parties involved in the transaction, and acknowledges the applicability of taxes such as transfer taxes, stamp duties, or other local and state taxes that arise from the property's sale. The execution of a Taxable Individual Grant Deed requires precision in detailing the property description, ensuring legal clarity in the transfer of ownership, and adherence to tax obligations. Upon the deed's execution, it is essential to record it with the appropriate county recorder or land registry office. This formal recording process serves not only to legalize the change in property ownership but also to ensure the transaction is appropriately documented in public records, facilitating the assessment and payment of the relevant taxes. This step is crucial for maintaining accurate and up-to-date property records, ensuring that all parties are aware of the tax implications and that the property can be freely sold, transferred, or encumbered in the future.

A quitclaim deed is used to add or remove someone's name on the title where they are simple changes with no guarantees on the title and transfer. Some states may record them but they may not be recognized as a valid transfer. A warranty deed provides greater protection as it contains language that makes promises regarding the conveyance of ownership along with any rights the property has with it.
