Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

. My father issued a grant deed to me and my mother a married women as her sole and seperate property. I am being told this deed is not sufficent to give sole ownership of a shared property between husband and wife. In california Must i have an interspousal grant deed or orher document notorized and recorded to be valid in califormia?

Thank you for your time

You don’t say who the record title holder(s) was/were before your father gave the grant deed, but if title was in your father AND mother jointly, whether as community property/husband and wife or as joint tenants a deed from your father alone just makes a mess of title. There are various ways to make the transfer he wanted to make but that was not it.
