Rotate Legal Florida Warranty Forms For Free

Under Florida law (Florida Statutes § 558.001), construction companies can be held legally liable for construction defects. In many of these cases, shoddy workmanship claims involve allegations that the defendant breached a warranty?whether an express warranty or an implied 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 special warranty deed guarantees two things: The grantor owns, and can sell, the property; and the property incurred no encumbrances during his ownership. A special warranty deed is more limited than the more common general warranty deed, which covers the entire history of the property.

What Are The Dangers Of A Special Warranty Deed? Property debts are tied to the property's title, so buyers agreeing to a special warranty deed assume all responsibility for any liens or claims against the property that may have existed prior to the seller's ownership.

A Florida special warranty deed offers protection to the buyer with a limited guarantee from the seller that the title to the property legally belongs to them and that there are no outstanding liens, mortgages, or other encumbrances against it during the period of time the seller owned the property.

If the lawsuit is based on contract law, as in the case of a breach of warranty, you must file it within four years after the cause of action occurred.
