About this Connecticut form
A Connecticut warranty deed transfers Connecticut real estate with warranty covenants. Connecticut's warranty form is commonly used when the grantor is giving broad deed-warranty protection, including the four Connecticut statutory warranty covenants: seisin, freedom from encumbrances except as stated, right and authority to convey, and warranty and defense of title against all persons except as stated in the deed.
A Connecticut warranty deed includes statutory warranty covenants. A Connecticut quitclaim deed transfers the grantor's interest with quitclaim covenants and does not provide the same warranty protection. Connecticut does not use a separate statutory “grant deed” category for consumer deed selection.

For Connecticut signing, the deed should be acknowledged and attested by two witnesses. The acknowledging officer, such as a notary, may be one of the two witnesses.
Record with the Town Clerk of the Connecticut town or city where the property is located. Connecticut does not use county recorders for land records.
Usually yes. Connecticut has graduated state conveyance tax rates and a municipal conveyance tax. Confirm the current rate, exemptions, OP-236, and myCTREC requirements with the Town Clerk, Connecticut attorney, title company, or tax professional.
Do not use remote online notarization for a Connecticut real-estate closing or deed execution unless a Connecticut attorney confirms otherwise. In-person acknowledgment is the cautious recording path.
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 Connecticut if you are unsure which fits your transfer.
