About this Idaho form
An Idaho grant deed is a legal document used to transfer real estate ownership. It includes implicit guarantees that the grantor has not already sold the property to someone else and that the property is free of encumbrances placed during the grantor's period of ownership, except those disclosed. It does not warrant the entire historical chain of title.
A grant deed guarantees the title against encumbrances made only during the current owner's tenure, whereas a full warranty deed covers the entire history of the property. Both offer significantly more protection than a quitclaim deed.

Yes, if the property is a marital homestead or subject to community property rules, Idaho law dictates that both spouses sign the deed to release their rights.
You must take the original, notarized deed to the County Recorder in the jurisdiction where the property is physically located and pay the required recording fee.
No, a deed only transfers the property title. It does not eliminate your financial obligation to pay an existing mortgage. You remain responsible for the loan unless the lender explicitly agrees to a refinance or assumption.
None. Additional local recording fees also apply when filing the deed.
Yes, you can draft your own deed as long as it strictly adheres to Idaho's legal requirements for formatting, legal description, and notarization.
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.
Grant deeds are a recognized conveyance form in Idaho, though local practice and title-company preferences can differ. Confirm the preferred instrument with your title company or recording office for your transaction.
