What is a general warrenty deed?

A general warranty deed is a legal document used in real estate transactions that provides the highest level of protection to the buyer. It guarantees that the seller holds clear title to the property and has the right to sell it, while also ensuring that the property is free from any liens or encumbrances, except those explicitly stated in the deed. The seller also agrees to defend the buyer against any future claims to the title. This type of deed offers the buyer maximum assurance of ownership rights.
