Questions answered? Let's get started!

A limited warranty deed can be used in a conveyance of real property in this state. The grantor in a limited warranty deed in Minnesota warrants to the grantee that the grantor has not done or suffered anything to encumber the title, except as may be listed in the deed. According to the Minnesota Statutes, no covenants of title are implied in a conveyance, whether the conveyance contains special covenants or not, except for the covenants included in a warranty deed (507.16).

In a deed of real estate upon which any encumbrance exists, the grantor shall make known to the grantee the existence and nature of such encumbrance, so far as the grantor has knowledge of. This is to be done before any consideration is paid (507.20).

To entitle a limited warranty deed to be recorded with the county recorder or registrar of titles, it must be executed and acknowledged by the parties executing it. The acknowledgment must be certified, as required by law. In addition, the original signatures of the parties executing the instrument must be present on the deed, as well as the original signature of the notary public or other officer taking acknowledgments. If the warranty deed is executed out of state, it is entitled to be recorded in Minnesota if it is executed as provided by Minnesota laws or according to the laws of the place of execution (507.24). When a limited warranty deed is presented for recordation, it must be accompanied by a Certificate of Real Estate Value and, if applicable, a completed Well Disclosure Certificate.

An unrecorded limited warranty deed is void as against a subsequent purchaser in good faith and for a valuable consideration of the same real estate or part thereof, whose conveyance is first duly recorded and as against any attachment levied thereon or any judgment lawfully obtained at the suit of any party against the person in whose name the title to such land appears of record prior to the recording of such conveyance. If the first recorded conveyance pertaining to the same real estate is in the form of or contains the terms of a quitclaim deed, this does not affect the question of good faith of the subsequent purchaser or be of itself notice to the subsequent purchaser of any unrecorded conveyance of the same real estate or any part thereof (507.34). Limited warranty deeds should be recorded in the county where the property is located.

Deeds.com made the recording of our Deed in a county where we do not reside, VERY easy! Customer service was great with all my questions answered immediately via my account portal. Very user friendly service! I wish the available documents were a little less pricey, but all in all, to get the job done right, I'll probably utilize the document downloads in the future.

First, I am glad that you gave a blank copy, an example copy, and a 'guide'. It made it much easier to do. Overall I was very happy with your products and organization... however, things got pretty confusing and I have a pretty 'serious' law background in Real Estate and Civil law. With that said, I spent about 10+ hours getting my work done, using the Deed of Trust and Promissory note from you and there were a few problems: First, it would be FANTASTIC if you actually aligned your guide to actually match the Deed or Promissory Note. What I mean is that if the Deed says 'section (E)' then your guide shouldn't be 'randomly' numbered as 1,2,3, for advice/instructions, but should EXACTLY match 'section (E)'. Some places you have to 'hunt' for what you are looking for, and if you did it based on my suggestion, you wouldn't need to 'hunt' and it would avoid confusion. 2nd: This one really 'hurt'... you had something called the 'Deed of Trust Master Form' yet you had basically no information on what it was or how to use it. The only information you had was a small section at the top of the 'Short Form Deed of Trust Guide'. Holy Cow, was that 'section' super confusing. I still don't know if I did it correctly, but your guide says only put a return address on it and leave the rest of the 16 or so page Deed of Trust beneath it blank... and then include your 'Deed of Trust' (I had to assume the short form deed that I had just created) as part of it. I had to assume that I had to print off the entire 17 page or so title page and blank deed. I also had to assume that the promissory note was supposed to be EXHIBIT A or B on the Short Form Deed. It would be great if someone would take a serious look at that short section in your 'Short Form Deed of Trust Guide' and realize that those of us using your products are seriously turning this into a county clerk to file and that most of us, probably already have a property that has an existing Deed... or at least can find one in the county records if necessary... and make sure that you make a distinction between the Deed for the property that already exists, versus the Deed of Trust and Promissory note that we are trying to file. Thanks.

Did not need power to "serve" contractor. All work done well, paid for, nothing more. Worth noting when things could go awry!

It was easy to download the form I wanted BUT there were 2 other options listed for "open/download." I didn't want to risk more charges for something I couldn't determine I needed so I passed them up. There were a few others listed with the option to "view" so I did that, without down-loading, and there were no additional charges. I would've liked that opportunity for 2 others that didn't offer "view" so maybe deeds.com missed a sale?
