    In the broadest sense, a deed (or conveyance) is a legal instrument by which real property is transferred from one party to another.  Deed books contain many types of title conveyances and contracts.  Among the most common types are warranty deeds, quitclaim deeds, and deeds of gift.
    A mortgage is a conditional transfer of legal title to real property as security for payment of a debt.  It is much like a deed in its form, but if the conditions prescribed within are met the conveyance becomes void.
