About this Arizona form
An Arizona grant deed is a valid deed form that transfers real estate with limited implied covenants. Under Arizona law, words such as "grant" or "convey" can imply that the grantor has not previously conveyed the same estate to another person and that the estate is free from encumbrances at the time of execution, including taxes, assessments, and liens, unless the deed limits those covenants.
A grant deed offers more assurance than a quitclaim deed, but it is not the same as a full warranty deed. Warranty deeds are the more customary Arizona path for many ordinary sale transactions. Trust, probate, fiduciary, beneficiary-deed, and other specialty transfers may require a different deed type or professional assistance.
Arizona deeds are recorded at the county level, and recorder formatting rules can include margin, cover-page, return-address, and indexing requirements. Remote online notarization is authorized in Arizona, but real-estate transactions may still require title-company, lender, court, or county-recorder acceptance. Confirm supplemental forms, fees, and recording details before relying on a completed deed.

Both spouses generally must sign and acknowledge a deed conveying Arizona community property or a family homestead. A married person may convey sole-and-separate property alone, but community-property, homestead, divorce, and title facts should be checked carefully.
Record the original notarized deed with the County Recorder in the Arizona county where the property is located.
No. A deed transfers title to real property. It does not release the borrower from an existing mortgage or deed of trust, and lender consent may be required for an assumption, refinance, or other loan change.
Arizona has no state, county, city, or municipal real-property transfer tax. County recording fees and the statutory transfer fee can apply, and most transfers require a separate Affidavit of Property Value unless an exemption applies.
No. This is a PublicLegal-authored self-help deed form, not an official Arizona recorder, county, or government form. Confirm county recording requirements and required supplemental forms before recording.
Arizona does not require an official recorder-issued deed form for an ordinary grant deed, but the deed must be properly drafted, signed, acknowledged, delivered, and recorded with the required legal description and any required supplemental forms.
A grant deed generally transfers ownership with limited implied covenants — commonly that the grantor has not previously conveyed the property to someone else and that the property is free of undisclosed encumbrances at signing, except any the deed itself discloses or excludes. Exact implied covenants depend on state law.
A warranty deed typically warrants title against claims from any point in the property's history, while a grant deed's implied covenants are limited — they do not warrant the property's entire history. Exact scope varies by state and by the deed's own terms.
The packet includes the blank state-specific deed in editable Word format plus a separate completion instructions and checklist document. A completed sample PDF may be offered as an optional add-on.
Recording offices review formatting, execution requirements such as notarization, and any required supplemental forms or fees, which vary by county. The included instructions cover the general process; confirm your county's current requirements before you record.
