Florida Special Warranty Deed Form |
The Florida special warranty deed is a legal document in which the Grantor (seller) shall offer warranty or guarantee, only for the title, against legal issues and/or defects that may have arisen during the period of the Grantor’s ownership. With this deed the Grantor shall provide no warranty to the Grantee (buyer) involving the existence of any defects that had existed prior to the Grantor’s ownership of the property. As example,these documents are often used in bank foreclosure properties. Since a bank will have not true knowledge of the property, they will not offer warranty to the title or it’s condition in the present or prior to their acquisition of the property. The document may be used by individual sellers, as well.
With this document the Grantee, should any title issues arise after the sale of the property, will have no legal recourse with regard to the Grantor nor will they be able to claim a breach of warranty, with anyone prior the Grantor’s ownership.
