Quick Guide to Warranty Deeds

What Is a Warranty Deed?

  • A legal document that transfers property interest while ensuring the property is free from liens or claims.

  • Guarantees that the property is not collateral for debts or subject to third party occupancy rights.

Involved Parties:

  • Grantor: The current titleholder who transfers property interest.

  • Grantee: The recipient who receives title interest.

  • Note: There can be multiple grantors or grantees, and a person can be both.

Types of Warranty Deeds:

  • Special Warranty Deed: Limited guarantee for the period the grantor owned the property.

  • General Warranty Deed: Full guarantee covering the entire history of the property.

Usage of a Warranty Deed:

  • For buyers seeking full ownership assurance, especially in transactions with strangers or little property history knowledge.

  • For sellers proving clear title to enable mortgage lending or title insurance provision.

Comparison with Other Deeds:

  • Quitclaim Deed: No guarantees provided; the buyer may face legal issues later.

  • Deed of Trust: Title held by a trustee until the buyer’s loan is paid off, aiding in loan security.

Notarization:

  • Required for validity and enforceability in almost every state.

A general warranty is when the grantor warrants the title to be free and clear from all defects and encumbrances from third parties except as stated in the deed. The grantor is responsible for the soundness and validity of the entire chain of title and can be held responsible by the grantee if the title is found to be defective. __________________________________________________________________________ A special warranty is when the grantor warrants the title to be free and clear from all defects and encumbrances from third parties, but only when those defects or claims asserted by the grantor and any persons whose right to assert a claim against the title arose during the period in which the grantor held title to the property. In essence, the grantor warrants that they have done nothing during the course of ownership that would create defects on the title but not guarantees are provided as to the title prior to their ownership.________________________________________________________ A Quitclaim warranty is when no warranty is provided by the grantor as to the soundness of the title.
