SPECIAL WARRANTY DEED

Special Warranty Deed Texas

Using a special warranty deed, the seller who currently owns the property guarantees they have not faced any title issues during the time of his or her ownership of the property.

Note:  If the history of the property is unclear, it is advisable to avoid a special warranty deed. We recommend using the general warranty deed when possible.

What is a Special Warranty Deed

The special warranty deed offers a lesser degree of protection than the General Warranty Deed.

Restrictions of special warranty deed

• Seller warrants title from the time he or she acquired ownership.
• Seller must defend against undisclosed defects that occurred during his or her ownership of the property.
• Seller warrants or guarantees a buyer will not be subject to legal action or title issues ensuing from the current seller’s ownership of the property.

To ensure your interests are protected, it is a good idea to have a real estate attorney prepare your deed. You will have the peace of mind knowing your deed will be prepared correctly. Additionally, we provide clear recording instructions with each document.
