California Warranty Deed

Transfer California real property with this professionally formatted, state-specific Warranty Deed. Unlike a standard California grant deed, this document includes express general warranty covenants stating that the grantor holds title, has authority to convey the property, and will defend the title against lawful claims.

This editable template includes:

• California recording-space formatting

• Grantor and grantee information

• Grantee vesting designation

• Express general warranty covenants

• Space for title exceptions and permitted encumbrances

• Documentary transfer-tax declaration

• Property address and assessor parcel number

• Two grantor signature lines

• California statutory notary acknowledgment

• Separate Exhibit A for the complete legal description

• Prior recording information section

Provided as an editable Word document for convenient preparation and customization. Because an express general warranty creates significant legal obligations for the grantor and is less commonly used in California than a grant deed, users should obtain legal advice before signing. County-specific recording fees, transfer taxes, and filing procedures should also be confirmed before recording.
