Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A limited warranty deed, also known as a special warranty deed, includes a covenant from the grantor that they have not done anything to create a defect in title during their ownership, and that they will defend against any lawful claims made by people claiming by, through, or under the grantor. It does not offer the same broad warranty of title as a general warranty deed.
