New York Bargain and Sale Deed without Covenant Against Grantor's Acts

New York Bargain and Sale Deed without Covenant Against Grantor's Acts — What This Package Is For

New York deed package last revised: July 2026.

Use this New York bargain and sale deed when the parties intend a statutory-style conveyance without the covenant against the grantor's acts.

This form is more limited than the bargain and sale deed with covenant against grantor's acts and much more limited than a deed with full covenants. It is also different from a quitclaim deed, which expressly conveys only whatever interest the grantor has, if any.

What You Receive

• Editable deed form: Bargain-and-Sale-Deed-without-Covenant-Against-Grantors-Acts-NY.docx, a Microsoft Word document prepared for customer completion and recording after appropriate review.
• Separate instructions and recording checklist: Bargain-and-Sale-Deed-without-Covenant-Against-Grantors-Acts-NY-Instructions.docx, a Microsoft Word checklist covering completion, signing, acknowledgment, recording, transfer forms, and stop-condition issues. The instructions are separate so they are not accidentally recorded as part of the deed.

Key New York Signing and Recording Points

• New York deeds are recorded with the County Clerk in the county where the land is located. In Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens, recording is handled through the City Register / ACRIS system; Staten Island (Richmond County) records deeds with the Richmond County Clerk.
• A recordable deed generally needs an acknowledged grantor or transferor signature, a complete legal description attached as Exhibit A, a tax map / SBL or local parcel identifier where required, and legible black text suitable for optical imaging.
• Most present-transfer deeds require an online RP-5217 or RP-5217NYC transfer report and a TP-584 or TP-584-NYC transfer-tax return. Transfer-tax, exemption, nonresident withholding, LLC disclosure, mansion-tax, and local recording requirements are transaction-specific.
• New York does not treat co-op shares and proprietary leases as ordinary deeded real property. Use professional review for co-op, lender, title-insurance, fiduciary, probate, divorce, bankruptcy, capacity, tax, Medicaid, trust, entity, or disputed-title facts.

Common Uses

• selected known-party or title-reviewed conveyances where no covenant against grantor's acts is intended
• transactions where New York bargain-and-sale form language is desired without the covenant
• transfers where counsel or a title company has selected this warranty scope

When to Stop Before Using This Form

Do not use this form if a buyer, lender, title company, contract, court order, fiduciary authority, or tax posture requires a different deed type or transaction-specific wording.
