About this Nebraska form
A Nebraska warranty deed is the ordinary deed choice when the grantor is giving title covenants to the grantee. Nebraska warranty protection depends on the deed's express covenant language and related Nebraska covenant statutes; do not describe it as a fixed statutory six-covenant short form.
A Nebraska warranty deed provides title covenants based on the deed's express language. A Nebraska quitclaim deed transfers whatever interest the grantor has at delivery, without covenants and without after-acquired title. Nebraska grant deed should not be marketed as a separate Nebraska statutory deed category.

This packet includes the official Rev. 6-2026 form. Exemptions are identified on Form 521 item 25. Current stamp tax is $3.32 per $1,000 through 2031 — confirm with the Register or DOR.
If the property is a married person's homestead, both spouses generally must execute and acknowledge the deed.
PublicLegal provides this self-help deed form template for customers to complete with their own transaction information. For transaction-specific legal, title, or recording guidance, consult an attorney, title company, or the local recording office. Recording offices and state agencies may require separate supplemental forms, taxes, fees, or cover sheets.
No. A deed transfers title to real property. It does not release a borrower from an existing mortgage or deed of trust, remove liens, or replace lender consent, payoff, refinance, or assumption requirements.
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.
