A Special Warranty Deed is similar to a General Warranty Deed however it only contains two basic warranties:
a. That the grantor received title.
b. That the property was not encumbered during the time the grantor held title, except as otherwise noted in the deed.
In a special Warranty Deeds the grantor may include additional warranties but they must be specifically stated in the deed.
