About this Nevada form
A Nevada grant deed transfers property ownership with limited warranties. It guarantees that the grantor hasn't already sold the property to someone else and that the property is free of encumbrances made by the grantor, other than matters of record, but it doesn't warrant against historical title defects. Nevada's statutory name for this instrument is the grant, bargain and sale deed (NRS 111.170); the deed in this packet uses Nevada's statutory "grant, bargain and sell" conveyance language, which carries these limited covenants by law.
Grant deeds are the standard instrument for traditional real estate sales. Common uses in Nevada include:
A grant deed provides the grantee with a legal guarantee regarding the title and holds the grantor liable for title issues. A quitclaim deed, however, offers no such warranties; it simply transfers whatever interest the grantor has at that moment. Grant deeds are for standard sales, while quitclaim deeds are usually for transfers between trusted parties or family members.

Yes, a recorded grant deed is the standard legal proof of ownership. It shows that the property was transferred to you with guarantees of title.
Yes, it is highly recommended. While the deed gives you the right to sue the grantor for title defects, title insurance ensures you have financial backing and legal defense without having to track down the grantor.
Deeds are recorded at the local County Recorder for the jurisdiction where the property is located.
The transfer tax is County transfer tax (e.g., Clark County $2.55/$500). The responsibility for paying this tax is typically negotiated in the purchase agreement, though local custom often dictates whether the buyer or seller pays.
While possible, it is not recommended for standard sales, especially in states with strict closing rules. Title companies or attorneys usually prepare these deeds to ensure accuracy and title insurance eligibility.
Yes, if the property is community property. Nevada is a community property state, and any real estate acquired during the marriage is presumed to be community property. Both spouses must sign the grant deed to convey community property, even if only one spouse's name appears on the title. Transferring community property without the non-titled spouse's consent can be challenged in court.
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.
