About this Alaska form
An Alaska warranty deed is a document that transfers real estate ownership while providing the highest level of protection to the buyer (grantee). When a seller (grantor) signs a warranty deed, they legally guarantee that they hold clear title to the property, have the right to sell it, and that the property is free of any undisclosed encumbrances, such as liens or easements. If a title defect is discovered later, the grantee can sue the grantor for breach of warranty.
Warranty deeds are the standard instrument for traditional real estate transactions in Alaska. Common uses include:
The core difference lies in the promises made. An Alaska warranty deed guarantees the title is completely clear, making the seller liable for any past title issues. A quitclaim deed, conversely, offers zero guarantees; the seller merely hands over whatever interest they have, leaving the buyer to assume all title risks.

Yes, Alaska statutes define the specific language and implied warranties that constitute a warranty deed in the state. Using the statutory form automatically includes the required covenants of title.
No, a warranty deed does not magically fix a title defect. Instead, it holds the seller legally and financially responsible if a defect is later discovered. A quiet title action or a quitclaim deed from the party holding the claim is typically used to actually clear a defect.
While not legally required, consulting a lawyer or a title company is highly recommended for traditional property sales to ensure the title search is accurate and the deed is properly drafted and recorded.
The legal description can usually be found on the prior deed to the property, a professional survey, or through the records of the local District Recorder.
Yes, you can use a warranty deed to transfer property into an LLC. However, many people choose to use a quitclaim deed for transfers to their own LLCs, as the title risk is minimal when you are transferring property to a business entity you control.
A warranty deed includes the grantor's warranty covenants — generally a promise that the grantor owns the property and will defend the title against claims, subject to any exceptions stated in the deed. It offers the grantee broader title protection than a quitclaim deed.
Warranty deeds are commonly used in arm's-length sales and other transfers where the grantee wants full title warranties from the grantor. Lenders and title insurers generally expect them for ordinary purchases.
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.
A warranty deed includes title warranties from the grantor; a quitclaim deed transfers only whatever interest the grantor may have, with no warranties at all. Compare the deed types available for Alaska if you are unsure which fits your transfer.
