General Warranty Deed: This type of partition warranty deed offers the highest level of protection for the buyer. It guarantees that the title is free from any encumbrances, defects, or claims, even those that may have occurred before the granter acquired the property. 2. Special Warranty Deed: Unlike a general warranty deed, a special warranty deed only guarantees that the granter has not caused any defects or encumbrances during their ownership of the property.
