One of the most common types of documents used to transfer an interest in property is a General Warranty Deed. This type of deed provides the greatest protection of all types of deeds.

By using a Arizona Warranty Deed, the seller (known as the Grantor) guarantees to the buyer (known as the Grantee) that he or she can convey the property and has good, clear and valid title to it. Furthermore, a Warranty Deed, often includes additional warranties and covenants such as covenants against encumbrances, covenants of quite enjoyment an a covenant to defend the Grantee against any and all later claims. In some states the Grantor will also provide a covenant of further assurances, promising to take additional actions if necessary to pass a valid title. Some of these warranties are known as present covenants, while some are future covenants (i.e. a promise to do something in the future). Together they are called the covenants of title.

Some of the important provisions included in this Arizona Warranty Deed:

• Recording Area: An area reserved for use by the Recorder;
• Consideration: The amount paid as consideration;
• Name and Address of Parties: The names and addresses of the Grantor and Grantee;
