An Arizona general warranty deed is a form used to transfer real property (real estate) from one person (known as the grantor or seller) to another person (known as the grantee or purchaser). This type of deed not only conveys the property but indicates that the seller or grantor warrants or guarantees he or she has clear title to the property and there are no others who have a claim to it. It is imperative that if the grantor is married the spouse signs the deed acknowledging the transfer.
