Property Deeds, Which One Do I Need?

There are four basic types of property deeds: General Warranty Deed, Special Warranty Deed, Quit Claim Deed, Sheriffs Deed.

General Warranty Deed- seller warrants the title from statehood until the time the buyer takes title. In this case, the owner of the property is guaranteeing the buyer a clear title.

Special Warranty Deed- there is more risk to the buyer here and limits the amount of the warranty. This is a common type of deed when a bank takes title to a property.

Quit Claim Deed- seen when there is a divorce situation. One party is giving the other party the interest that they have in the property.

Sheriffs Deed- usually happens during a foreclosure when the property is sold and the deed is given to the new owner. High Risk because there are no warranties on the property.
