Which type of grant transfers title to real property from one private person to another?

• A. Public grant
• B. Public dedication
• C. Private grant
• D. Grantee

Answer: (C)

When title transfer happens between private individuals, it’s a private grant. A grant is simply a transfer of ownership in real property, and if both sides are private persons (or private entities), the deed carrying the transfer is those private parties executing a private grant. This is typically done by a deed from the person conveying the property (grantor) to the person receiving it (grantee) and is recorded to show the new private ownership.

In contrast, a public grant involves a transfer from a government or public body to a private party, which isn’t the scenario described here. Public dedication is giving land to the public for use (like streets or parks) and doesn’t reflect a private-to-private title transfer. A grantee is simply the recipient of the grant, not the type of grant itself.
