General warranty deeds are statutory conveyances under KRS 382.030. The deed must state that the grantor "will warrant the property hereby conveyed" or contain words of import like "with warranty" or "with general warranty" (KRS 382.030).
A warranty deed is a legal instrument used to transfer, or convey, rights in real property from a grantor (seller) to a grantee (buyer). They offer substantial protections for the grantee and are the most common type of deed for standard real estate transactions. When using a general warranty deed, the grantor warrants that they are the true owner of the property and have the legal right to convey it, that the property is free of liens or encumbrances unless otherwise listed in the deed, and that the grantor will defend the grantee's right to the property if anyone makes a claim against the title, forever.
In addition to meeting all state and local standards for recorded documents, a lawful general warranty deed identifies the grantor and grantee and their addresses. State law requires information on how the grantee will vest title in the property. For Kentucky residential property, the primary methods for holding title in co-ownership are tenancy in common, joint tenancy, and tenancy by entirety. A grant of ownership of real estate to two or more persons creates a tenancy in common, unless otherwise specified (KRS 381.050(1)).
Include a complete legal description of the property, and the source of the current grantor's title. State either the full amount of consideration exchanged during the transfer, or if nominal or no consideration has been exchanged, the fair cash value of the property in the consideration certificate section pursuant to KRS 385.135. The county assesses a transfer tax on the consideration, due at the time of recording, unless the transaction is exempt under KRS 142.050.
Provide the in-care-of tax address where the property tax bill may be sent (KRS 382.110(2)). Kentucky law requires the preparer's name and signature on the face of the deed (KRS 382.335). Each grantor and grantee must sign the deed in front of a notary (KRS 382.030).
Record the deed, along with any supplemental documentation necessary for the specific transaction, in the county in which the property is located (KRS 382.110(1)). Recording provides public of the change in owners and helps to maintain a clear chain of title.

I was informed that a quit Claim Deed that I had submitted, did not meet county requirements. I ordered the correct form and was surprised that the form included instructions and a sample "completed" form for me to follow. I found it al very helpful. Thank you !!!
Thank you!

Nice site, easy to maneuver around, and walks you thru completing forms. However, at the end, the forms listed poorly explained. It would be helpful to have better explanations of the forms so people know which forms they really need to download.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The fill-in pdf produced a messy document and several of the fields too small to accommodate the text. A tailorable MS Word document would have been far better. I would not recommend using this product.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the fill-in PDF did not meet your expectations, particularly with regard to formatting and field sizing.
Based on your comments, we will be reviewing the document to see where improvements can be made. Feedback like yours is genuinely helpful in identifying areas where our forms can be clearer and easier to use.
We’ve gone ahead and canceled your order and refunded your payment in full, so there’s no expectation that you use a product you wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending.

Glad to have all of the helpful extra information, even though they don't answer all questions for all situations. So, I accessed public records and asked questions at the auditor's office. Also, on my Mac computer, filling out the actual deed form is a challenge because the screen jumps to the last page everytime I try to type a few letters or hit the return key, so I'm rollling back up to the first 2 pages after most keystrokes. A bit annoying. Overall, happy to have these form options are available! There is really no need to wait and pay for an attorney when all the information needed is available via public records. Fill in the blanks!
Thanks so much for the feedback Teri. There are known issues between Adobe and Mac, we try to work around them as much as possible. Have a wonderful day!
