<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Under the 2006 ALTA policy, the definition of “insured” generally includes grantor trusts so the endorsement is not necessary. Under older policies (1992 and 1970 ALTA policy forms), the best practice is to
get the additional insured endorsement. Any of the forms of deeds should work, and I would think a QCD should be fine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I’ve seen quit claim, bargain and sale, special warranty, and statutory warranty deeds used to convey property into a trust and am trying to decide which to use and whether
to ask the title company for an endorsement for the new “insured.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
