Make Notes On Legal South Carolina Warranty Forms For Free

A South Carolina special warranty deed is a written instrument transferring a property interest from the current owner (the grantor) to a new owner (the grantee) with limited warranty of title. Warranty of title is the current owner's guaranty that a deed conveys real estate with a valid, clear title.

This special warranty deed is different than the general warranty deed in a major way. Here, the seller is only stating that they will protect the buyer from any title defects or claims arising during the seller's ownership, not from any point in time before the seller had ownership.

While a special warranty deed conveys fee simple title and provides the same five covenants of title that a general warranty deed does, to wit: the covenant of seisin. covenant of the right to convey. covenant against encumbrances. covenant of quiet enjoyment, and. covenant of general warranty.

While the seller in a Warranty Deed must defend the title against all other claims and compensate the buyer for any unsettled debts or damages, the seller in a Special Warranty Deed is only responsible for debts and problems accrued or caused during his ownership of the property.

A South Carolina general warranty deed is used to convey the title of real property from a seller to a buyer in South Carolina. This type of deed comes with a guarantee that the seller has the legal right and authority to sell the property.
