A quitclaim deed, unlike a warranty deed, doesnt provide any guarantees that the grantor actually owns the property free and clear. The grantor can only give you what he owns, so if he owns half of the property, he can only convey his half.
The main difference between a grant deed vs. warranty deed is the level of protection offered. A warranty deed offers a higher level of protection than a grant deed. With a grant deed, the grantor is guaranteeing that they havent sold the property to anyone else, and that it is clear of any liens or restrictions.
A general warranty deed is often considered the most common way to transfer real property.
The primary risk associated with a Special Warranty Deed lies in its scope of protection. This deed only covers the period the grantor owned the property, meaning the buyer takes on a risk of potential issues arising from before that period, which the grantor is not obliged to address.
Warranty Deed Warranty deeds are rare in California. A warranty deed contains express covenants of title. The special feature of warranty deeds is that the grantor promises to pay for any lawsuits or damages due to undisclosed ownership disputes.

The Quitclaim Deed: The quitclaim deed is the worst type of deed because it conveys no warranty whatsoever that the sellers title is good title or that there are no encumbrances on the property.
Disadvantages of Warranty Deeds Title companies will research the chain of deeds, past court judgments, and unpaid taxes before green-lighting the transfer. The grantor also remains on the hook long after the sale. If a forgotten lien surfaces, the buyer can pull the grantor into court for damages and legal fees.
Who Benefits the Most from Recording a Warranty Deed? The buyer, or grantee, of a property benefits the most from obtaining a warranty deed. Through the recording of a warranty deed, the seller is providing assurances to the buyer should anything unexpected happen.
