Real estate deeds are an essential part of any residential or commercial transaction involving real estate. These legal documents help preserve the chain of title and serve as an official “proof of transfer” that demonstrates the transfer of ownership of an asset (i.e., property) from one person to another.

Real estate deeds are used when individuals, corporations, LLCs, or other entities seek to claim ownership or transfer ownership of real property. These deeds are important to the transaction process, as they affect ownership interest and rights.

The most common types of real estate deeds are Warranty Deeds and Quitclaim Deeds.
