Hawaii Special Warranty Deed Form

The Hawaii special warranty deed is a legal document that, in a limited manner, provides some warranty from a Grantor (seller) to a Grantee (buyer). This deed offers warrants that the Grantor, does in fact, own the property, has the right to sell the property and has never experienced any third party claims to the title or ownership. It does not, however, guarantee that there will not be problems in the future. Although it’s unlikely, under these circumstances, that the deed or property ownership, will be challenged, the Grantor is not willing to offer warranty or defend the deed on behalf of the Grantee.

In Hawaii, more than just this document will be requested in order to convey the property inasmuch as there are no counties or boundaries, necessarily. Since most deeds are drawn up by an attorney, it’s their job to ensure that all possible information is acquired and once completed is properly recorded in the only existing recording office, located in Honolulu, Hawaii.

All signatures to be applied must be provided in the presence of a notary public
