Massachusetts Deed Forms

A Massachusetts deed is a notarized instrument that transfers a property title from one individual or entity to another. The completed form, once filed with the Registry of Deeds Office, becomes the public record of the property’s transfer and new ownership. Depending on the agreement between a buyer and seller, a deed may offer a complete (general) warranty, partial warranty (quit claim), or non-warranty (release deed) that the property title is without encumbrances.
