Colorado Deed Forms

Colorado deed forms are used to sell real estate or real property. The seller is called the grantor, and the purchaser is called the grantee. Depending on the nature of the transfer, there are different deed types. The purchaser should perform a title search to fully understand what rights they are buying to the property.

Colorado Property Search (5 steps)

In order to ensure that you understand what interest you are purchasing in the property, it is important that you complete a property search or title search. Often a title company will complete the search on your behalf. In Colorado, you will have to go to the county recording office to research the transfers of the property. You can also go to the county website to see what they offer for electronic searches.
