Welcome! Strafford is now BARBRI! The expert courses you know from the trusted global leader in legal education.
Description
Property deeds transfer the ownership of real property from the seller (grantor) to the buyer (grantee). Understanding where property deeds fit into the real estate sales transaction process and the types of real property deeds available is critical because each deed type offers varying levels of protection. While deed types may vary to some degree by state, there are common types of which counsel should be aware to best protect their clients' interests during the transaction.
Listen as our expert panel discusses the most common types of property deeds used in real estate sales transactions. The panel will provide an overview of essential deed elements for legal validity and will describe under what circumstances each type of deed should be used. The panel will discuss the legal protections granted by each and discuss best practices for reviewing and/or drafting deed language to mitigate client risk in the transaction.
