Texas-statutory document
General Warranty Deed (Trust Funding)
Tex. Prop. Code Ch. 5 (Conveyances); §§ 5.021–5.023
Transfer your Texas property into your trust — with full warranty of title.
An attorney-drafted General Warranty Deed conveying your Texas real property into your revocable living trust — the standard tool for trust funding when you want full title warranties to flow into the trust. Pairs with any of our trust plans.
What's included
- General Warranty Deed conveying real property into your named trust
- Property legal description verification (from your prior deed or survey)
- Vesting language coordinated to your trust agreement
- Required statutory notices (e.g., "prepared by", grantor address, grantee address)
- Recording-ready signature, notary, and grantor acknowledgment blocks
- County-clerk recording instructions specific to your county
Homeowners with clear title transferring property into their trust; refinances or restructurings where warranty of title matters.
Properties with active mortgages requiring lender consent, contested title, divorce-related transfers, or non-Texas real property — those need Continuum Counsel.
County clerk recording fees ($26–$40 first page, ~$4 each additional). If your property has a mortgage, lender consent or a due-on-sale carve-out may be required — we flag this in your delivery.
