Fill & Sign
A Wyoming deed is a document that transfers a grantor’s interest in real property to a grantee. Each deed type offers a certain amount of protection against title defects (e.g., liens, debts, unpaid taxes), and the context of the transfer will indicate which type to use. Homebuyers will generally favor general or special warranty deeds, as they will not need to worry about the title’s condition or unexpected expenses from defects. On the other hand, warranty-free quit claim deeds are often used when a property is conveyed as a gift or divorce settlement, as the title’s condition is presumably already known by the grantee.
