What is A Deed?
A deed is a legal document that transfers property ownership from one party to another.
In Michigan, ensuring the deed is correctly written and signed in accordance with the law can protect you from deed fraud and prevent future delays when selling real estate or applying for a loan.
Michigan recognizes several types of deeds:
- Warranty Deeds: Offer the strongest protection, guaranteeing the title’s validity and no claims or liens.
- Covenant Deeds: Less secure, ensuring no claims or debts during the current owner’s tenure but not before.
- Quitclaim Deeds: The quickest but least secure, transferring ownership without warranties.
- Ladybird Deeds: Also known as “transfer on death deeds,” these allow property to be inherited without probate.
Choosing the right deed depends on your transaction. An experienced lawyer can recommend the best option for your situation.
