Kentucky Special Warranty Deed Form

The Kentucky special warranty deed is a legal document that is used by a Grantor (seller) to transfer an interest in a specific piece of real property. This is a limited warranty deed. With the use of this document the Grantor shall not provide any warranty against possible title defects arising from any conditions that may have existed prior to the Grantor’s ownership of the property. The only warranty provided with this document, would be that the Grantor will warrant that in no way has created or suffered any defect nor will there be any defect while in the process of transfer of ownership.  This particular form offers little more warranty than a Quit Claim deed, but less than the full protection of a general warranty deed.
