Choose the New York deed by the legal result you want: ordinary conveyance with the right covenant scope, no-warranty quitclaim, estate or trust fiduciary transfer, revocable transfer on death, life estate planning, trust funding, or correction of a prior recorded deed. New York recording also requires attention to County Clerk or City Register intake, legal description, acknowledgment, RP-5217, TP-584, local cover pages, and title or attorney review.
Start with the transaction type, then review the deed-specific cautions before choosing a form. New York deed selection can affect title warranties, signing requirements, recording practice, tax consequences, lender review, and post-death title clearing.
Use when the grantor gives the covenant against grantor’s acts and the parties do not intend full-covenant or quitclaim treatment.
Use only when the transaction intentionally omits the covenant against grantor’s acts.
Use when the transaction calls for full-covenant deed language and the grantor accepts that broader covenant scope.
Use for selected known-party or title-clearing transfers where no deed warranty is intended.
Use after confirming letters testamentary, will authority, co-executor rules, and any required Surrogate’s Court order.
Use after confirming letters of administration, required consents, court authority, and title requirements.
Use after confirming trustee authority, trust ownership, successor-trustee documents, and co-trustee rules.
Use when the trust already exists and the owner intends a present deed into that trust.
Use when the grantor intends an irrevocable present remainder transfer, not a TOD deed or Lady Bird deed.
Use only for appropriate corrections; do not use it as a substitute for a new conveyance or title action.
Use the RPL § 424 path with two witnesses, acknowledgment, and recording before death.
Use to revoke a prior TOD deed before death; acknowledgment sequence and joint-owner rules matter.
Use New York counsel, title company, lender, County Clerk, City Register, Surrogate’s Court, tax, or agency support for specialty facts.
Start with the intended legal effect and authority. A New York bargain and sale deed with covenant, bargain and sale deed without covenant, quitclaim deed, deed with full covenants, fiduciary deed, life estate deed, correction deed, and transfer-on-death deed serve different purposes and carry different signing, tax, recording, and title consequences.
Use when the transaction calls for New York bargain-and-sale language with the covenant that the grantor has not done or suffered anything whereby the premises have been encumbered, except as stated.
