The main difference between a grant deed vs. warranty deed is the level of protection offered. A warranty deed offers a higher level of protection than a grant deed. With a grant deed, the grantor is guaranteeing that they haven't sold the property to anyone else, and that it is clear of any liens or restrictions.
The “warranty deed” is like a grant deed, except that it contains additional promises. Specifically, a warranty deed expressly warrants the title to the property and the quiet possession of the property the grantee.
The key difference between the two is that with a warranty deed, the grantor is guaranteeing that they will defend the title of a property, in the present and in the future. This leaves an opening for the grantee to sue the grantor if any issues with the title arise, at any point in time.
