Can there be 2 warranty deeds to the same property?

Question

I was just wondering if this could be done and how can one get it done.

Answer 1

no not legally

Answer 2

Warranty deeds warrant good title from the seller (grantor) to the real estate it conveys. If the seller does not have clear and valid title to that property, the seller can be held personally legally liable to the buyer (grantee's). If you are trying to convey a piece of property to 2 different indivduals, this can be accomplished by a single warranty deed from the grantor to persons A & B. But there should not be two different warranty deeds going out at the same time from the same grantor for the same property to different people. It should all be done in one deed. A quit claim deed, on the other hand, only conveys whatever the grantor's interest might be in the property, with no warranty as to title. So anyone could give a quit claim deed to another person conveying, for instance, the Golden Gate Bridge, but that would not be illegal because they would only be conveying the interest, if any, they may have in that property.

Answer 3

There shouldn't be 2 warranty deeds on the same property. When the title company runs a title check, they can see who's currently on title with the property. So, when they prepare a warranty deed, the person(s) on title will need to sign off on the warranty deed (grant deed, quit claim deed) to grant the property to another person (or to add another person to title).

So, basically it supersedes the previous warranty deed. If another one is improperly recorded, then that would be a legal issue.

Answer 4

No, only one warranty deed goes to a property

Answer 5

ONE DATED EARLIER THAN THE OTHER. THE SECOND, LATER DEED, IS RECORDED BUT THE EARLIER DEED SITS IN A DRAWER FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
HEIRS TO THE FIRST DEED WISH TO MAKE A CLAIM ON PROPERTY..

WHO WINS?

Answer 6

yes if the property is owned by two people each would own 1/2 interest
