Harner Legal Forms
The Harner Legal Forms Special Warranty Deed is an attorney-drafted real estate deed form designed to document a transfer of real property while providing the grantee with a limited warranty of title from the grantor.
A Special Warranty Deed generally protects the grantee against title problems caused or allowed by the grantor during the grantor's ownership, but it typically does not provide warranties against title problems that arose before the grantor acquired the property. The form includes space for grantor and grantee information, consideration, the legal description, warranty exceptions, and the manner in which multiple grantees will hold title.
Because deed execution and recording requirements vary by jurisdiction, the package includes alternative signature pages and instructions to help you prepare the deed. Product registration provides access to state-specific Special Warranty Deed requirements covering matters such as witnesses, notarization, marital or homestead considerations, recording requirements, and additional state forms or disclosures.
