Happy Grant Deed Awareness Month!

Our ClearMark Title team is proud to introduce our first ever Grant Deed Awareness Month. This month we’re working to educate consumers on the benefits of a grant deeds. We are encouraging the real estate professionals we work with to check legal and vesting on client properties and to guide them through the considerations and benefits of a grant deed.

So, what is a Grant Deed?

• A Grant Deed is a legal document that transfers ownership of real estate from the Grantor (seller) to the Grantee (buyer).

• The Grant Deed is the most frequent sort of deed used in real estate transfers.

• A Grant Deed clears title on a property, removing any liens or other claims on it.

What are some of the benefits of a Grant Deed?

• Grant deeds remove all liens or encumbrances on a property, which means clear title.

• Grant deeds don’t require a third-party loan. This means avoiding all costs and fees associated with loans, like appraisal fees, title insurance premiums, and recording/attorney’s fees.

Believe it or not, the preparation of a grant deed is most often more affordable to prepare and record than other common types of property transfers.
