Quitclaim Deeds
One of the most common types of deeds are quitclaim deeds. These are used to quickly transfer property and are done using forms filed with the county. The document gives the person signing for the property the same interests in the real estate currently held by the existing owner.
A quitclaim deed reduces the amount of paperwork needed to transfer property and is typically done between people who already know each other. These types of deeds may be used to transfer property from a parent to a child, to one spouse during a divorce, to a revocable living trust, and to enter into co-ownership with someone.
If you are considering signing property over through a quitclaim deed, our experienced legal counsel can help you determine if this arrangement is the right option for you.
Warranty Deed
The next type of deed issued in Michigan is a warranty deed. These documents are created when a land contract is created for the sale of a piece of property. The deeds are based on a promise that the person purchasing the property has possession of the property, title to the land, and the ability to use the property without outside influence.
The document summarizes the passage of the property from the seller to the buyer after the last payment is made, satisfying the full purchase price outlined for home.
Covenant Deed
In contrast to warranty deeds, covenant deeds are used when a business or government agency is concerned about issuing a warranty deed over a piece of property.
Covenant deeds are sometimes called a Deed C. One circumstance where these deeds may be issued for a transaction is when the property being sold is in foreclosure and the bank has possession of the property. If accepting one of these deeds during a real estate transaction, you should ensure the purchase agreement includes the delivery of a marketable title for the land.
A marketable title means no one else will be able to stake claim interest over the property once you have ownership. While working as your attorney, we can ensure the terms of the purchase agreement are favorable for you.
Recording Deeds with Municipalities
Under Michigan law, deeds must be filed with the register of deeds in the county where the property is located. When the deeds are filed, they must be signed by one or more witnesses. Once deeds are recorded, they are public record. In Ingham County, the documents are available through the Register of Deeds office and through online searches.
