FAQ
To summarize, a Special Warranty Deed states that there were no claims against the property title during the time when the seller or grantor owned it. On the other hand, a General Warranty Deed states that there were no title defects at any point in time.
Special Warranty Deeds are frequently used in commercial real estate transactions and foreclosure sales. In commercial transactions, sellers might prefer this type of deed to limit their liability to issues they directly caused.
A special warranty deed guarantees that the grantor owns and can sell the property. To the best of their knowledge, they are the owner of the property.
Cons: Fewer protections for buyers, who are now responsible for addressing any previous liens or claims for the property. Lenders and title companies may refuse to help buyers secure financing or title insurance for a property sold under special warranty.
A general warranty deed must include the following to be valid: The name and address of the seller (called the grantor) The name and address of the buyer (called the grantee) A legal description of the property (found on the previous deed) A statement that the grantor is transferring the property to the grantee.
