Grant Deed form in Sacramento

What Is a Grant Deed?
A Grant Deed is a legal document used to transfer property ownership from one party (the grantor) to another (the grantee). In California, a grant deed includes an implied warranty that the seller has not transferred the property to someone else and that the property is free from undisclosed liens or encumbrances caused by the seller. However, it does not guarantee against previous claims or title defects before the grantor took ownership.
Notarizing a grant deed is a crucial step to ensure the validity of the transaction, prevent fraud, and comply with California real estate laws. I provide professional notary services for grant deeds in Sacramento and surrounding areas, ensuring your property transfer is legally secure.
Why Notarize a Grant Deed?
Notarization is required for grant deeds in California to be legally valid and recorded with the county recorder's office.
✔ Prevents Fraud – Confirms the identity of the signing party and ensures the signature is legitimate.
✔ Ensures Legal Compliance – Meets state and county recording requirements.
✔ Protects Property Ownership – Helps prevent disputes and challenges regarding the validity of the transfer.
✔ Required for County Recording – A notarized deed is necessary to finalize the property transfer.
Key Features of a Grant Deed
A California grant deed provides limited protections to the buyer and differs from other types of property deeds:
Limited Warranty of Title – Ensures that the grantor has not transferred the property to another party and has not encumbered it with undisclosed liens.
Used for Fair Market Transfers – Commonly used in real estate sales, refinancing, and ownership changes.
Different from Quitclaim & Warranty Deeds:
Quitclaim Deed – Transfers property with no guarantees about title status.
Warranty Deed – Provides full protection against past title defects.
Common Uses of Grant Deeds
A grant deed is typically used for:
✔ Buying or Selling Property – Ensures a proper legal transfer of real estate.
✔ Adding or Removing a Co-Owner – Used to transfer partial ownership to a spouse, family member, or business partner.
✔ Estate Planning – Transfers property into a trust or between heirs.
✔ Transferring Property After Divorce – Used to change ownership after a legal separation or divorce settlement.
✔ Business Transactions – Transfers real estate into an LLC or corporation.
Steps to Notarizing a Grant Deed
1. Prepare the Grant Deed
Ensure the document includes the names of the grantor and grantee, a legal property description, and the necessary legal language.
Verify the form complies with California real estate laws.
2. Schedule a Notary Appointment
Choose between mobile notary services (I come to you) or an in-office appointment.
Ensure all parties required to sign the deed are present.
3. Verify Identity & Sign the Deed
The notary will verify the grantor’s identity using a valid government-issued photo ID.
The grantor must sign the document in the notary’s presence.
4. Receive the Notary Seal
The notary applies an official stamp and signature to authenticate the document.
The grant deed is now legally notarized.
5. Record the Deed with the County
The notarized grant deed must be filed with the county recorder’s office in the county where the property is located.
This step finalizes the legal transfer of ownership.
