It really depends on the state or jurisdiction that you are talking about, as practices and laws can vary greatly from one to another. In many, a TS convenyance is treated just like any other transaction in which the seller (grantor) signes a document, often entitled "Deed" of some sort, which conveys title to real estate.
However, its title is less important than the content.
Briefly, in most states, a document is construed as a deed, as long as...
1. Parties are properly identified -- who is the grantor and who is the grantee;
2. Words of conveyance are used -- such as, grant, bargain, sell or convey;
3. Receipt of some consideration is acknowledged -- such as, $10 in hand paid;
4. Unit(s) is adequately described - # week, # unit, 'x' condominiun per ...;
5. Any warranties or exceptions listed -- taxes and MF's for current year;
6. Signed and witnessed. Some require the buyer to sign, others do not;
7. To be recordable, also notarized (acknolweged).
If in doubt, consult an attorney licensed to practice in the state where the property is located. [BTW, I am not].
