Ohio Limited (Special) Warranty Deed. An Ohio limited warranty deed conveys property interests with a limited guarantee on the clarity of the title. The grantor is only guaranteeing that he or she did not encumber the property while he or she owned it.
However, unlike a general warranty deed, a special warranty deed provides these covenants only as to the time period during which the seller owned the property. In other words, a special warranty deed only guarantees that no title issues arose during the time that the prior owner owned the property.
What Are The Dangers Of A Special Warranty Deed? Property debts are tied to the property's title, so buyers agreeing to a special warranty deed assume all responsibility for any liens or claims against the property that may have existed prior to the seller's ownership.
Warranty deed requirements A legal description of the property. The grantor (seller)'s name and address. The grantee (buyer)'s name and address. A statement that the grantor is the legal owner of the property and that the title is clear, with no outstanding liens or creditor claims.
