A conveyance of real estate is a transfer of real estate from one person to another. A deed is one form of

conveyance, transferring a title to real estate from one person to another. Title means ownership of realestate. The person transferring title is known as the Grantor and the person receiving the title is known

as the Grantee.

There are several types of deeds. One form of deed is a warranty deed. A warranty deed is a deed which

warrants good and clear title to the real estate transferred. In many states, it often includes some or all

of the following covenants: seisin, quiet enjoyment, right to convey, freedom from encumbrances anddefense of title against all claims.

Covenant of seisin is an agreement, contract, or promise that the grantor possesses a quantity and

quality of land described in the deed or other conveyance.

The covenant of quiet enjoyment is an agreement, contract or promise that the grantee to a deed or

other conveyance will have the land in peace and without disturbance from other persons with hostileclaims to the land.

A covenant of right to convey is an agreement, contract or promise that the grantor has a right totransfer title to the land.

The covenant against encumbrances is an agreement, contract, or promise that there are noencumbrances against the land described in the deed or conveyance.

An encumbrance is a claim by another person against the land. One example of an encumbrance is amortgage or other lien against the real estate.

The covenant of defense of title against all other claims means that the grantor will defend the grantee

should other persons or entities make hostile claim against the grantees title to real estate whicharise from events occurring prior to the transfer of title.

A warranty deed must be in writing and must be signed by the grantor. It must be recorded to put thirdpersons, such as creditors and subsequent purchasers, on notice as to the transfer.
