Transfer of Title
Which of the following is a requirement for a valid deed?
- aRecording at the county office
- bThe signature of the grantee
- A competent grantor and delivery to the grantee
- dNotarization by the buyer
Answer: C · A competent grantor and delivery to the grantee
A valid deed requires a competent grantor, named grantee, granting clause, legal description, and delivery + acceptance. The GRANTOR signs (not the grantee); recording is for priority, not validity. Common trap: students think recording is required for a deed to be valid; recording only protects priority.
