General Warranty Deeds

What is a General Warranty Deed?

A General Warranty Deed conveys real property in most U.S. states. A General Warranty Deed not only conveys a grantor’s interests and title to a property, but also warrants that if the title is defective or has a “cloud” over it (such as a bankruptcy, tax lien, mortgage claim, or unknown easement), the grantee may hold the grantor liable.

What else does a General Warranty Deed do?

A General Warranty Deed also typically provides the following guarantees:

The title has no encumbrances other than those expressly stated in the deed.
If any title defects are subsequently found, the grantor agrees to correct those defects, within reason.
No other person or party has a superior claim to the property than the grantee.
The grantor has “seisin” (a term that means actual ownership of the property) and the legal right to convey that ownership.
The grantor agrees that if in the future the title is challenged, the grantor will pay the expenses required to defend the title against challenge.

Does a General Warranty Deed require notarization?

Yes. In almost all cases, signatures on a General Warranty Deed require acknowledgment before a Notary Public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments. A few states allow a proof of execution by subscribing witness when the principal grantor is unable to personally appear before a Notary. The absence of an acknowledgment or proof may prevent a General Warranty Deed from being recorded in the land records.
