Let's start with the definition of a deed: DEED: A written instrument by which one party, the Grantor, conveys the title of ownership in property to another party, the Grantee. A Warranty Deed contains promises, called covenants, that the Grantor makes to the Grantee.
A warranty deed, also known as a general warranty deed, is a legal real estate document between the seller (grantor) and the buyer (grantee). The deed protects the buyer by pledging that the seller holds clear title to the property and there are no encumbrances, outstanding liens, or mortgages against it.
They are (1) covenant for seisin; (2) covenant of the right to convey; (3) covenant against encumbrances; (4) covenant for QUIET ENJOYMENT; (5) covenant of general WARRANTY; and (6) covenant for further assurances.

These are your original copies and should be kept in a safe place, such as a fireproof lockbox or a safe deposit box at a financial institution.

A warranty deed is a document often used in real estate that provides the greatest amount of protection to the purchaser of a property. It pledges or warrants that the owner owns the property free and clear of any outstanding liens, mortgages, or other encumbrances against it.
When a will and a deed both transfer the same piece of property, typically the deed will trump. This is not because deeds automatically override a will, but because a deed is designed to take effect immediately after the grantor delivers it to the grantee, whereas a will does not take effect immediately.
It's important to note that a warranty deed does not actually prove the grantor has ownership (a title search is the best way to prove that), but it is a promise by the grantor that they are transferring ownership and if it turns out they don't actually own the property, the grantor will be responsible for compensating
