A Warranty Deed guarantees that a property's title is free from encumbrances while transferring its ownership. A warranty deed, in essence, is a seller's assurance that they hold clear title to a property and have the right to sell it.A warranty deed guarantees that a seller owns the property free and clear of liens. Conversely, a warranty deed provides the grantee with the highest level of protection. Special warranty deeds, sometimes referred to as Limited Warranty Deeds, offer fewer protections for the grantee than general warranty deeds. Grant deeds contain two guarantees, but warranty deeds contain three. The grantor states that the property has not been sold to anybody else. Typically, a state will commonly use a grant deed instead of a warranty deed, or vice versa. A warranty deed can be used for most property transfers. A quitclaim deed can transfer ownership to a specific, trusted person.
