Document background
A Grant Deed is a crucial legal instrument in Malaysian property law, used when transferring real property ownership from one party to another. This document is essential in various contexts, including private property sales, corporate acquisitions, and family property transfers. The deed must comply with the National Land Code 1965 and relevant state land rules, requiring proper execution, witnessing, and registration with the land office. It includes vital information such as the parties' details, property description, consideration amount, and warranties of title. Grant Deeds are particularly important in Malaysia as they provide greater protection to the grantee through implied warranties about the grantor's title and right to transfer the property. The document is commonly used in both residential and commercial property transactions throughout Malaysia.
