Quitclaim Deed
This deed makes no promises or guarantees, and the property is assumed as is. There are no guarantees from the grantor if a problem arises after the property is transferred to the grantee.
General Warranty Deed
With this deed, the grantor promises there are no problems with the property, either before or during their ownership, and should a problem arise, they will defend against it.
Special Warranty Deed
Same as a special warranty deed, except the grantor promises there are no problems with the property only while they owned it. They make no guarantees about the property from before their ownership.
Life Estate Deed
With this deed, the property is passed on to a living person when the grantor passes. After this deed is signed, the grantee will need to give permission for any transactions the grantor wishes to participate in involving the property.
Lady Bird Deed
This is the same as a Life Estate Deed, but the grantor does NOT need permission from the grantee to enter into any transactions involving the property.
Transfer-on-Death Deed
This deed allows a property to be passed on without the need for a will, which would need probating. Transferring property with this deed avoids probate.

The Grantor is the owner of a property who is transferring the property either by giving or selling it. They will no longer be the owners once a deed recognizing the transfer is signed, notarized, and filed with the district clerk’s office.
The Grantee is the person receiving property from the Grantor.
Any one of the deeds listed above in the Services section can be created as a gift deed. When you are “gifting” a deed to a loved one, the consideration section of the deed is the only part that changes. A gift deed’s consideration states “for love and affection”. Alternatively, when you are transferring a property to someone by selling it, the consideration will list a monetary amount that the grantor and grantee agree upon.
