Granting Clause

Definition: The granting clause is the operative part of a deed that expresses the grantor's transfer of an interest to the grantee.

Example

A deed states that the grantor grants and conveys the described property to the named grantee.

Keep the distinction clear

Words of transfer differ from a deed's promises about title. A grant does not automatically carry every warranty found in a general warranty deed.
