A Washington Bargain and Sale Deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership of real estate in the state of Washington. It is a type of deed that conveys title to the buyer, but doesn't provide the buyer with any warranties or guarantees regarding the condition of the property. The Bargain and Sale Deed is commonly used in Washington to transfer real estate that has been inherited or when the seller has limited knowledge of the property's condition. There are two types of Washington Bargain and Sale Deeds: a Special Warranty Deed and a General Warranty Deed. A Special Warranty Deed is used when the seller has limited knowledge of the property's condition and the buyer is taking possession of the property "as-is". A General Warranty Deed is used when the seller guarantees that the title is good and clear of any liens or encumbrances and that the property has not been sold to another buyer. Both types of Washington Bargain and Sale Deeds must be signed by the seller and notarized in front of a notary public in order to be legally binding. The deed must also include the names of the buyer and seller, a legal description of the property, and any additional information required by the Washington State laws.
