A deed is a written document, properly signed and delivered, that conveys title to real property. It serves as a legal record of ownership and may include warranties or specific conditions. There are several types of deeds, including general warranty deeds, quitclaim deeds, and special warranty deeds.
A Special Warranty Deed is a type of deed in real estate where the grantor warrants only against title defects or claims that arose during their ownership of the property, not for previous owners.
A Warranty Deed is a legal document that ensures that the seller (grantor) of a property has a clear and marketable title to transfer to the buyer (grantee) and guarantees to defend the buyer against any claims to the property.
