FAQ
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.
You can sell as a warranty deed... but this means you are warranting clean title and the buyer can come back to you, you should only provide a warranty deed if there's a title company/title insurance being purchased.
The primary risk associated with a Special Warranty Deed lies in its scope of protection. This deed only covers the period the grantor owned the property, meaning the buyer takes on a risk of potential issues arising from before that period, which the grantor is not obliged to address.
The buyer, or grantee, of a property benefits the most from obtaining a warranty deed. Through the recording of a warranty deed, the seller is providing assurances to the buyer should anything unexpected happen.
