What You Should Know Before Using Our Free Warranty Deed Form
Since property deeds come in a few flavors, picking the right one is always important. A special warranty deed (also known as a limited warranty deed) is popular because it's considered more "fair" to both parties - A General Warranty Deed protects the property buyer heavily while a Bargain and Sale Deed favors the property seller.
When we break it down into plain English, a seller (grantor) who signs a special warranty deed form is saying this, "I own this property and have the right to hand it over to you. I promise that the property title is free from any debts or claims during the time I was the owner. However, anything bad that crops up before my ownership is the buyer's (grantee's) problem."
If you are buying real estate, it's always a good idea to buy title insurance or at least carry out a title search to avoid any nasty surprises with a bad property title.
