This Special Warranty Deed form is used to convey an interest in real estate. In a Special Warranty Deed, the grantor does not warrant against title defects arising from conditions that existed before he/she owned the property. Special and limited warranty deeds provide that the grantor warrants only that it has not created or suffered any defect in title to occur during the period that it was in title to the property being transferred.

Special and limited warranty deeds (the terms are virtually the same) afford greater protection to the grantee than a quitclaim deed but less protection than a full or general warranty deed.

This form is for use in Texas.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Special Warranty Deed is a type of legal document used to convey an interest in real estate, where the grantor only warrants against title defects that occurred during their ownership of the property.

Unlike a General Warranty Deed, which provides broad protections against all title defects, a Special Warranty Deed limits the grantor's liability to defects that arose during their ownership.

This form is appropriate when the seller wants to limit their liability for any title issues that existed before their ownership, making it suitable for various real estate transactions.

Yes, a Special Warranty Deed can be used for both residential and commercial properties in Texas, as long as the parties involved agree to its terms.

If title defects arise after the transfer, the grantee may have recourse against the grantor only if those defects were caused during the grantor's ownership period.

No, a Quitclaim Deed transfers whatever interest the grantor has in the property without any warranties, while a Special Warranty Deed provides limited warranties regarding the title.

While it's not legally required to have an attorney, consulting one is advisable to ensure that the deed is executed correctly and complies with Texas laws.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are selling a property in Texas may opt for a Special Warranty Deed to limit their liability regarding any title defects that arose before their ownership. This type of deed assures the buyer that the seller has not caused any title issues during their ownership period.
  • Situations requiring the transfer of property between family members often utilize a Special Warranty Deed. This allows for a smoother transaction while protecting the grantor from claims related to prior ownership.
  • For those involved in real estate transactions where the seller is not the original owner, a Special Warranty Deed is ideal. It provides a level of assurance to the buyer that the seller has not created any title defects during their tenure.
  • Real estate investors looking to acquire properties with a limited liability regarding past ownership issues might choose a Special Warranty Deed. This form helps mitigate risks associated with unknown title defects that could arise from previous owners.
  • In cases where a property is being sold as part of a divorce settlement, a Special Warranty Deed can be beneficial. It allows one spouse to transfer their interest in the property while limiting their responsibility for any past title issues.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate when the seller is unsure of the title history of the property. If there are known issues or disputes regarding the title, a General Warranty Deed may be more suitable to provide full protection to the buyer.
  • – In situations where the property is being sold under foreclosure or as a result of a legal judgment, a Special Warranty Deed may not provide adequate protection for the buyer due to the complexities involved in such transactions.
  • – If the property has multiple owners or is part of a complex estate, using a Special Warranty Deed without proper legal guidance can lead to complications. In these cases, a more comprehensive legal approach may be necessary.
  • – For properties that have significant title issues or liens, a Special Warranty Deed is not advisable. Buyers should seek a General Warranty Deed or other legal remedies to ensure they are protected against potential claims.
