Special Warranty Deed Overview:
A Special Warranty Deed, sometimes referred to as a Limited Warranty Deed is a type of real estate deed where the grantor (seller) warrants the title only against defects that arose during their ownership of the property. The grantor does not warrant against defects that existed before they acquired the property. This type of deed provides less protection to the grantee (buyer) compared to a general warranty deed, which offers a warranty against all title defects, regardless of when they arose.
Key Features of a Special Warranty Deed:
Limited Warranty: The seller guarantees that there are no legal claims or title defects that arose during their period of ownership, such as liens or encumbrances.
Risk to Buyer: The buyer accepts a higher risk with a special warranty deed because the protection is limited to the duration of the seller's ownership.
Common Use: This deed type is commonly used in commercial real estate transactions or in sales where the seller has owned the property for a brief period and therefore prefers not to provide a warranty for a time before they owned the property.
(Michigan SWD Package includes form, guidelines, and completed example)

Ordered a 'Gift Deed' form The 'Example' form was most helpful. The actual form was very detailed, and seemed to 'cover all the bases'

One thing I would suggest that could be changed is the last page because we have a trust and I had to retype that page to include the trust and both trustee's signatures.

I am a real estate attorney in CA. These Wyoming model deeds look too basic and barely adequate: no usual name and address at the top for tax statements and who recorded it. Some old fashioned legalese that only obfuscates. I won't use them. Your background info was good though.

This is the first time I am filling out a legal form downloaded from a website. Throughly impressed with the detailed explanation along with sample forms to help a novice like me to fill out the actual form. I will remember to go to your site if I need in the future and have already recommended your site to others. Thanks for an excellent job.

First time user - process went very smooth and fast. It took me a little to find my messages. At first I didn't know you process documents other than deeds so maybe you should consider putting on your home page that it's not only for deeds - it's for any document that needs recording. :)
