Delivery of a deed passes which right?

• A. The full title to the property
• B. The right to apply for registration
• C. The right to receive a tax bill
• D. The right to lease the property to others

Answer: (B)

Delivery of a deed is the moment the grantor gives up control and the grantee gains the right to have the transfer officially recorded. The key effect is that the grantee can apply for registration of the deed with the land title office, which is what actually perfects ownership in the public records. Until registration happens, the deed shows the intention to transfer but does not yet confer recognized title against others. The other rights listed—receiving tax bills, holding full title immediately, or the right to lease—do not automatically flow from the mere delivery of the deed. Taxes and the ability to lease are tied to recorded ownership and separate agreements, not the act of delivery itself.
