What Are Grant, Quitclaim, and Trust Deeds?
Each of these deed types is used to transfer ownership or change how a property is held. Knowing the difference is essential when preparing or signing real estate documents.
- Grant Deed – Transfers ownership and guarantees that the property hasn’t been sold to someone else.
- Quitclaim Deed – Transfers ownership interest without guarantees or warranties; often used between family members or divorcing spouses.
- Trust Transfer Deed – Transfers a property into or out of a living trust for estate planning purposes.
These deeds typically must be notarized to be legally valid in California. As your trusted grant quit claim trust deeds notary public, we make sure every deed is executed in accordance with state and county requirements.

- Transferring property to a child or spouse
- Funding a living trust with real estate
- Dividing property in a divorce or separation
- Selling property in a private sale
- Settling an estate or inheritance
Our mobile notary service comes to you and ensures your deed is properly witnessed, signed, and sealed—saving you a trip to the office or county clerk.
