An Illinois deed is a legal instrument that conveys the ownership rights of a property from its current owner (the “grantor”) to another party (the “grantee”). Real estate ownership is officially recorded as a title with the county recorder’s office and transferred via a deed. In most cases, the grantor will warrant that there are no encumbrances on the property and promise to defend the grantee against any such claims. However, the grantor is permitted to use a quit claim deed that offers no guarantees on the property title.

Once the document has been executed by all parties, acknowledged by a notary public, and filed with the county recorder, the property’s ownership will be legally transferred in the grantee’s name.
