Hostile Possession
The document which transfers title to real property or a real property interest from one party (grantor) to another (grantee). it must describe the property by legal description of boundaries and/or parcel numbers, be signed by all people transferring the property, and be acknowledged before a notary public. the transfer is finalized by recording with the county recorder or recorder of deeds. importantly, a grant deed warrants that the grantor actually owned the title to transfer, which a quitclaim deed would not, since it only transfers what the grantor owned, if anything.
