Special Warranty Deeds are commonly used when property owners are divorcing or are divorced. Since the parties both own the property, it is acceptable to use a Special Warranty Deed when one owner transfers his or her interest in the property to the other owner.
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.
Special Warranty Deeds The grantor is stating that since they have had the property, they have neither negatively affected the property nor created a defect on the title. This deed does not offer a buyer as much protection as the warranty deed does.
The main difference between these deeds is that general warranty deeds apply to the entire history of a piece of land while special warranty deeds only cover the period of time that the previous owner (the grantor) has held the land.
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.
Warranty deed requirements A legal description of the property. The grantor (seller)'s name and address. The grantee (buyer)'s name and address. A statement that the grantor is the legal owner of the property and that the title is clear, with no outstanding liens or creditor claims.
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.
