Delaware Special Warranty Deed Form

The Delaware special warranty deed is a legal document that carries a limited warranty of title. It is not as protective as a general warranty which means that the Grantor has likely not purchased title insurance, however the Grantor does agree to offer defense to the Grantee (buyer), in the event that a person or an entity should step forward to make a claim (hostile or otherwise) against the property. The Grantor, with this deed, shall promise that there are no encumbrances with regard to the premises nor the land.

The document must sign the document before an officer of the court or notary public and then it must be properly recorded as immediately as possible to avoid any issues with regard to the “race” act, which will allow a first come first serve basis if the property is deeded to more than one person under whatever circumstances.
