FAQ
What Is the Difference Between a Warranty Deed & a Survivorship Deed?A warranty deed is the most comprehensive and provides the most guarantees. Survivorship isn't so much a deed as a title. It's a way to co-own property where, upon the death of one owner, ownership automatically passes to the survivor.
A special warranty deed to real estate offers protection to the buyer through the seller's guarantee that the title has been free and clear of encumbrances during their ownership of the property. It does not guarantee clear title beyond their ownership.
It will not protect against title issues that arose prior to the time the seller took occupancy. Consequently, it offers less protection to buyers, and more protection to sellers, than a general warranty deed, which is the most common option for selling or buying a property.
The Tennessee general warranty deed is a form that conveys real estate with a guarantee from a Seller to a Buyer that the title shall be free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (fee simple).
Two of the most common ways to transfer property in a divorce are through an interspousal transfer deed or quitclaim deed. When spouses own property together, but then one spouse executes an interspousal transfer or a quitclaim deed, this is known as transmutation.
When recorded, a special warranty deed conveys an interest in real property to the named grantee with limited warranties of title. In Tennessee, special warranty deeds are statutory.This means that the deed will not protect the grantee against title issues that arose prior to the time the grantor acquired title.

A Survivorship Deed transfers residential or commercial property from one property owner (the grantor) to another (the grantee) while allowing them to avoid going through probate when they (the grantor) passes away. The parties transferring property in a Survivorship Deed must have full ownership of the property.
