Covenant of the right to convey WHEREAS , [Grantor.FirstName] [Grantor.LastName] (the “Grantor”), by signing this warranty deed, does hereby attest that he/she/they own the real property located at [Property.StreetAddress] in [Property.City] , [Property.State] , which is described above, and that they have the unencumbered right to sell said property to [Grantee.FirstName] [Grantee.LastName] (the “Grantee”).
Covenant for quiet enjoyment WHEREAS , [Grantor.FirstName] [Grantor.LastName] (the “Grantor”), by executing this legal document, does hereby affirm that, once conveyed to [Grantee.FirstName] [Grantee.LastName] (the “Grantee”), the Grantee shall not be disturbed in their possession of [Property.StreetAddress] in [Property.City] , [Property.State] , which is described above.
This is a “future covenant” that isn’t always included in a warranty deed. It affirms that the grantee has the right to possess the real property being conveyed, which isn’t always related to title ownership (for example, in the case of an occupied property or multi-family home).
A different type of warranty deed called a “special warranty deed” guarantees the grantor that they will not experience any future issues or encumbrances (liens, easements, etc) as a result of the actions of the grantor. Importantly, a special warranty deed does not provide the same promise for actions taken by prior owners.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF , this deed is duly executed by the Grantor(s) and Grantee(s) on (Deed.SigningDate) :
[Grantor.FirstName] [Grantor.LastName]
[Grantee.FirstName] [Grantee.LastName]
