Escrow & TitleIntermediateArizona Exam

A deed in Arizona is legally delivered when:

AIt is signed by the grantor
BIt is recorded at the county recorder's office
CIt is voluntarily transferred to and accepted by the granteeCorrect
DIt is signed and notarized

Why It is voluntarily transferred to and accepted by the grantee Is Correct

Answer C: It is voluntarily transferred to and accepted by the grantee

Delivery requires both the grantor's intent to immediately transfer title and acceptance by the grantee. Recording is strong evidence of delivery but is not required for legal transfer of title.

Exam Tip: Escrow & Title

Escrow questions test the neutral third-party role and the sequence of closing events. Remember that the escrow agent acts as a dual agent for both buyer and seller and cannot advocate for either side.
