land deeds
Real estate documents
Land deeds are legal documents that transfer ownership of real property from one party to another.
A deed contains a description of the property, identifies the parties involved, and bears the signature of the person conveying the land.
Different types—warranty deeds, quitclaim deeds, grant deeds—offer varying levels of guarantee about the title's validity.
The land deeds were filed at the county courthouse.
