Warranty Deed vs. Special Warranty Deed

The essential difference between a Maryland Warranty Deed for real estate and a Special Warranty Deed, is that that guarantees in a Warranty Deed cover the entire history of the property whereas the guarantees in a Special Warranty Deed cover only the period of time for which the seller owned the property.

If there are difficulties with the Deed in the future, the seller in a Warranty Deed must defend the title against all claims and compensate the new Deed owner for any debt or damages. The seller in a Special Warranty Deed is only responsible for the debt and damages directly caused during the seller’s ownership of the property.
