The deed must be signed by the person transferring the property, known as the grantor. It must also be delivered to and accepted by the person receiving the property, known as the grantee.
There are different types of deeds, such as warranty deeds and quitclaim deeds. Each type offers different levels of protection to the grantee. Recording the deed with the local government is important to establish a public record of ownership.
