Alabama deed forms are documents that permit a buyer (grantor) and the seller (grantee) to convey or transfer real estate interest and ownership. The title of the property and the transaction scenario will determine the kind of deed used. A grantor must sign deeds authorized in Alabama before a notary public, and two witnessed. Also, the Real Estate Sales Validation (Form RT-1) must be completed when recording the deed with the County Probate Judge's Office. See Title 35, Chapter 4 (Conveyances and Creation of Estates).
The Real Estate Sales Validation (Form RT-1)(§ 40-22-1) must be filed alongside every deed.
All deeds must be recorded in the County Probate Judge's Office. See (§ 35-4-50).
Every deed must be signed before two witnesses or acknowledged by a notary public. See (§ 35-4-20)
There are three types of deeds: General Warranty Deed, Quit Claim Deed, and Statutory (Special) Warranty Deed. The type of deed to use depends on the conditions surrounding the transfer of the property.
The General Warranty Deed is the most frequently used deed in real estate transfers. It offers the buyer complete protection since it guarantees the tile legally belongs to the seller, the seller has legal right to transfer the property, and no third party shall lay claim to the property.
The Quit Claim Deed offers no guarantee to the title. It is mainly used in situations where the buyer and seller are familiar with each other.
The Statutory (Special) Warranty Deed conveys the title with a limited guarantee. Although the seller will make no claims to the property, the deed does not account for any issues that may arise from before the seller owned the property.
