The grantor of a warrenty deed dies do his heirs have to guarantee the deed?
No. The warranty comes from the grantor.
If a grantee accepts a quitclaim deed are they inherently implying that the grantor has a legitimate claim to the land in the deed?
The grantee is only accepting what interest the grantor may own. A quitclaim deed conveys any interest the grantor has or may have. It does not guarantee that the grantor passes good title. By acceptance of the deed the grantee accepts those conditions. If the grantee wants to determine the status of the title conveyed by the deed she/he must have the title to the property examined by a professional.
Does a grantee still own the property granted by a grantor if grantor is dead?
Generally, yes. The grantor on a deed is the one who owns the property and is transferring it to the grantee. Once the deed has been executed and delivered to the grantee the grantee is the new owner and they must record the deed in the land records as proof of their ownership. The subsequent death of the grantor has no effect on the grantee's ownership.
Who must sign a deed to be valid the Grantor or Grantee or recorder or all?
The owner of the property must sign the deed in order to transfer the real estate to a new owner.
How does a quitclaim work?
The term is actually "quitclaim", not "quick claim". The document must be signed, notarized and recorded and the recorder's office to be valid. It must contain the address of the property and a legal discription. It basically means "what interest I have in the property, I convey to you". This is not as good as a grant deed, which conveys a warranty of title. Consult a local attorney familar with the laws of your state for further assistance.
Is the deed valid if one of the grantees is dead when the deed is created and recorded?
A deed must be signed by the parties to the deed. If one of them was dead when the deed was created, then they could not have signed the document!
Does the survivorship deed need to have the signatures of the current owners on it to be legal?
Yes. A deed must have the signature of the grantor for it to be valid. The grantor is the person who owns the land. The grantee is the person(s) who is receiving the land. Once the deed is recorded in the land records the grantee is the new owner.
Who signs as the affiant line in the quick claim deed?
the grantor
How do you correct an unrecorded quit claim deed when the grantor is deceased?
You cannot correct an error in an unrecorded deed when the grantor has died. You need to take the matter before a judge and request the court's help in making the necessary corrections, depending on the nature of the error. The deed may be deemed null and void. In that case, the grantor's estate must be probated and you must get a deed from the estate or from the heirs. You need to have your situation reviewed by an attorney who specializes in real estate law in your jurisdiction.
