Manually drafting grant deeds and warranty deeds requires researching state-specific requirements, verifying legal descriptions, ensuring proper covenant language, and formatting notary blocks correctly. Attorneys spend hours cross-referencing county records, state statutes, and bar association guidelines to avoid costly errors that could cloud title or delay closings.
Preparing grant deeds and warranty deeds requires meticulous attention to state-specific formalities, precise legal descriptions, and proper execution requirements. Manual drafting is time-consuming and errors in property descriptions, granting language, or notarial acknowledgments can delay closings or create title defects that surface years later.
CaseMark automates deed preparation by generating state-compliant grant deeds and warranty deeds with accurate legal descriptions, proper granting clauses, and formatted acknowledgment certificates. Simply upload your title documents and transaction details to receive execution-ready deeds that meet recording requirements and professional standards.
This workflow is applicable across multiple practice areas and use cases

Litigation outcomes often require preparation of corrective deeds, settlement-related transfers, or deeds implementing court judgments in property disputes.
A grant deed provides limited warranties that the grantor has not previously conveyed the property and has not created undisclosed encumbrances during their ownership. A warranty deed offers broader protections with full covenants of title (seisin, right to convey, against encumbrances, quiet enjoyment, warranty, and further assurances) that extend back through the entire chain of ownership. The choice depends on the transaction type, jurisdiction customs, and negotiated terms between parties.
