Deeds

Real property transfers require precise legal documentation. James Dyches prepares and reviews deeds for Texas property owners with care and accuracy.

Overview

What Is a Deed?

A deed is a legal document that transfers ownership of real property from one party to another. In Texas, deeds must meet specific legal requirements to be valid and must be properly recorded with the county clerk's office. Using the wrong type of deed — or a poorly drafted one — can create title problems that are costly and difficult to resolve.

Whether you are transferring property to a family member, updating title after a marriage or divorce, or planning for future inheritance, James can prepare the right deed for your situation.

Types of Deeds We Prepare

General Warranty Deed

The most common deed used in Texas real estate transactions. The grantor warrants title against all claims — both those arising during their ownership and those arising before they acquired the property.

Special Warranty Deed

The grantor warrants title only against claims arising during their period of ownership — not claims that may have existed before. Commonly used in commercial transactions and by estates or banks.

Quitclaim Deed

Transfers whatever interest the grantor has in the property — with no warranties. Often used to clear title defects, resolve boundary disputes, or transfer property between family members.

Transfer on Death Deed (Lady Bird Deed)

A Texas estate planning tool that allows real property to pass directly to a named beneficiary upon the owner's death — avoiding probate — while the owner retains full control of the property during their lifetime.
