Virginia Special Warranty Deed from a Trust (single Trustee) to Husband and Wife / Two Individuals
Understanding this form
This Special Warranty Deed is a legal document used to transfer property from a trust, with a single trustee, to a husband and wife or two individuals as grantees. Unlike general warranty deeds, this form provides a limited guarantee against title defects only during the time the trustee held the property. It is essential for conveying real estate while ensuring all state statutory laws are adhered to.
Key components of this form
- Identification of the grantor (the trust) and grantees (the individuals receiving property).
- Specification of the property being transferred.
- Designation of how the grantees will hold the property (e.g., tenants in common, joint tenants with right of survivorship, or tenants by the entirety).
- Legal language outlining the limited warranty provided by the grantor.
- Signature section for the trustee and the date of execution.
Common use cases
