New Jersey Special Warranty Deed
What this document covers
A Special Warranty Deed is a legal document used in property transactions where one corporation (the Grantor) conveys property to another corporation (the Grantee). Unlike a general warranty deed, this form only provides a limited warranty, ensuring the property is free from claims made by individuals claiming through the Grantor. This means that the Grantor will defend against claims from specific periods during their ownership but not beyond. This deed complies with state statutory laws, making it crucial for corporate transactions involving real estate.
What’s included in this form
- Identification of the Grantor and Grantee, both of which are corporations.
- Detailed description of the property being conveyed.
- Specific warranty language limited to claims made through the Grantor.
- Signature lines for authorized corporate officers of the Grantor.
- Legal compliance statements as required by state law.
Common use cases
This form should be used when a corporation wants to transfer real estate to another corporation while limiting the warranty.
