A Nevada deed is a form that conveys a property’s title from a grantor (current owner) to a grantee (new owner), serving as proof of the legal change in ownership once recorded. Property titles are frequently conveyed with warranties that protect the grantee against liens and other encumbrances. A quit claim deed contains no title warranties, whereas a general warranty deed promises that the title is free from encumbrances dating back to the property’s original owner.
Property deeds must be recorded by the County Recorder. For a deed to be considered valid and recordable, it must identify the grantor and grantee, provide a legal property description, and contain the grantor’s notarized signature.
