Title issues: Special warranty deeds do not cover any defects or issues with the title that existed before the grantor owned the property. This means that if there are any issues with the title, the grantee will be responsible for resolving them.
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.
A warranty deed promises the seller that he or she legally owns the property. If the seller is not the lawful owner, he or she can be held accountable to you for breach of contract.
General warranty deeds: A general warranty deed provides the most protection to the buyer but gives the grantor the highest degree of liability. The grantor of a general warranty deed fully warrants good, clear title to the property.
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.
No, the warranty deed alone does not prove ownership. Ownership is confirmed once the deed is recorded with the county recorder's office, making it part of the public record.

Title to Real Property: Deeds and Marketable Title Title to real property is a basic concept of property law. Title deeds and documents are legal papers proving your right to own real property and are vital during a real estate transaction. These documents show legal ownership of tangible property.
General warranty deeds give the grantee the most legal protection, while special warranty deeds give the grantee more limited protection. A quitclaim deed gives the grantee the least protection under the law.
