You need to convey real property from one owner to another and record it — this is the deed that does it. A grantor conveys the property to a grantee, and PaperKit drafts the recordable instrument with the exact operative granting words for the type you pick. Choose the deed type, which is the whole ballgame for the warranty of title: a Quitclaim Deed conveys only whatever interest the grantor has, if any, with NO warranty (common between family members, spouses in a divorce, or to clear a cloud on title); a Warranty Deed gives the full covenants of title — seisin, right to convey, freedom from encumbrances, quiet enjoyment, and a general warranty to defend title forever (the buyer-protective deed used in most arm’s-length sales); or a Grant Deed gives the statutory implied covenants (the grantor hasn’t already conveyed the estate and hasn’t encumbered it) without the full express warranty. Choose residential or commercial, name the grantor and grantee, state how the grantee takes title (e.g. joint tenants with right of survivorship), recite the consideration (PaperKit estimates the documentary transfer tax for you), give the property address, legal description and parcel number, and PaperKit assembles the whole deed — parties, consideration, the granting clause, the covenants (or the no-warranty clause for a quitclaim), the manner of taking title and any subject-to exceptions. Like a reconveyance, the deed is a drafter-signs recordable certificate: the GRANTOR executes and e-signs it; the grantee simply takes title. Hosted online for the grantor to review & e-sign. Clean recordable PDF.
The current owner conveying the property. Like a reconveyance, the deed is a recordable certificate the grantor executes — the grantee simply takes title.
The big lever — it decides the operative granting words, the covenants of title (or the lack of them), and the document title.
Warranty deed: the grantor gives the full covenants of title (seisin, right to convey, freedom from encumbrances, quiet enjoyment) and warrants to defend title forever — the buyer-protective deed used in most sales.
Residential property: framed for a home / residential conveyance.
PaperKit estimates documentary transfer tax = consideration ÷ 1,000 × rate. Set the rate to 0 to omit the estimate; the actual tax is that imposed by your recording jurisdiction.
A real, section-by-section recordable deed. The deed-type choice drives the operative granting words and whether the grantor gives full covenants, implied grant-deed covenants, or no warranty at all. Publish to get a hosted link the grantor can e-execute online.

A deed is a template for convenience, not legal advice. It is a recordable instrument that conveys title to real property; to be effective it must generally be signed by the grantor, acknowledged before a notary, and recorded with the correct recorder / register of deeds, with the legal description, parcel number and transfer-tax declaration required by that office and applicable state law. PaperKit is not a law firm. Review the deed and consult a qualified attorney.
