Warranty Deed
A warranty deed used with real estate transfers guarantees the property has a clean title with no liens attached. Liens are used when borrowers default on creditor loans, owe taxes to the Internal Revenue Service, or have outstanding child support or alimony payments. There are two types of real estate warranty deeds - General or Limited.
A general warranty deed guarantees the seller owns the real estate and has authority to sell it. General warranty deeds protect the buyer if the seller engages in non-disclosure. This might include not reporting creditor or tax liens or judgments not reported by the seller.
