What is warranty deed?
An Individual Taxable Warranty Deed is a legal document through which an individual (the grantor) transfers ownership of real property to another party (the grantee) with a full guarantee of clear title, subject to taxation. This deed not only affirms that the grantor holds a clear and unencumbered title to the property but also promises to defend the grantee against any future claims or disputes over the property's title. The "taxable" aspect signifies that the transaction may incur taxes, such as transfer taxes, based on the value of the property or the amount of consideration involved in the transfer. The deed includes a detailed description of the property, the identities of the grantor and grantee, and a declaration of any monetary exchange or consideration that triggers the tax liability. It is a common instrument in real estate transactions where the transfer involves a sale or exchange that is not exempt from such taxes. Upon execution, the Individual Taxable Warranty Deed should be recorded with the appropriate local or county records office to ensure the transfer is documented in public records, thereby providing notice to all parties of the grantee's legal ownership and the transfer's taxable nature. Recording this deed and paying any applicable taxes are critical steps to ensure the grantee's ownership rights are fully protected and recognized, and to maintain the accuracy of property titles and tax records. It facilitates a clear and legal transfer of property rights, ensuring that the grantee can enjoy the property free of any undisclosed claims or liens, with the added responsibility of addressing the tax implications of the transaction.

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.
