Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a warranty deed and quitclaim deed?
A warranty deed guarantees the seller owns clear title and will defend against claims. A quitclaim deed transfers whatever interest the seller has (if any) with no guarantees. Use warranty deeds for sales; quitclaim for family transfers.
What does the warranty cover?
A general warranty deed covers the entire chain of title (past and future). The seller warrants: (1) they own the property, (2) they have the right to sell, (3) no liens exist, (4) quiet enjoyment, and (5) they'll defend the title.
Do I still need title insurance with a warranty deed?
Yes! Title insurance protects against hidden title defects (forged documents, unknown heirs, recording errors). Even with warranty coverage, title insurance is faster and more comprehensive. Most lenders require it.
What's a special warranty deed?
A special warranty deed guarantees title only during the seller's ownership period, not the entire history. Common in commercial transactions and foreclosures. General warranty deeds are preferred for residential sales.
