Kentucky General Warranty Deed Form

The Kentucky general warranty deed is a document that shall provide an avenue in which a Grantor may transfer ownership of real property to another person, Grantee or beneficiary. In doing so, the Grantor offers guarantee or warranty that the seller does, in fact, legally own the property. The document offers promise by the Grantor (seller) to the Grantee (buyer), that the title that is provided is good. The deed ensures that there are no liens, no encumbrances and that the Grantor shall defend the Grantee against any claims that may arise stating otherwise.
