A North Dakota deed is a legal form that transfers ownership rights in real estate from one party (the “grantor”) to another party (the “grantee”). There are a variety of deed types listed below, and each form has its own intended purpose that can be applied to a number of circumstances. A quit claim deed is best suited for transferring property to family and other trusted individuals. In contrast, general and special warranty deeds are more commonly used in traditional sale transactions. In addition to demonstrating the change in ownership, the deed may also convey warranties to protect the grantee against claims, liens, and other encumbrances affecting the property title.
