FAQ
To start, a “Deed” is the name of the most common document used to transfer title of real estate. And the most common deeds are the General Warranty Deed and the Special Warranty Deed. The primary difference between these two deeds is the extent of the “warranties” the seller is giving to the buyer.
Special Warranty Deed TX A Special Warranty Deed is a document that transfers title with both express and implied warranties. However, unlike in a General Warranty Deed, the Grantor only warrants the title from the time the Grantor has owned the property.
Special Warranty Deeds are commonly used when property owners are divorcing or are divorced. Since the parties both own the property, it is acceptable to use a Special Warranty Deed when one owner transfers his or her interest in the property to the other owner.
A general warranty deed is the strongest deed because it offers the most protection. A quitclaim deed is usually the weakest deed because it offers the least amount of protection.
No, a warranty deed does not prove ownership. A title search is the best way to prove that a grantor rightfully owns a property. The warranty deed is a legal document that offers the buyer protection. In other words, the property title and warranty deed work in tandem together.
Warranty Deeds A warranty deed offers the same promises as a grant deed, and then some. The owner of a property is guaranteeing that they have the full right to sell and transfer the property, and that the property is clear of any present or future claims, such as liens and taxes.
Potential Risks for Buyers Special warranty deeds provide limited protection, exposing buyers to potential risks. Buyers may inherit claims or issues that occurred prior to the seller's ownership.
Texas deeds without warranty While the deed without warranty sells and conveys the property to the buyer, it's only slightly better than a quitclaim deed. It conveys title to the buyer, but there's no warranty against any defects in the title.
A warranty deed offers the strongest protection. It protects the party receiving the property title in case there turns out to be any issues with the title.
Because of the lack of title guarantees, quitclaim deeds are most often used to transfer property between two parties who know and trust each other, such as family members.
