A general warranty deed is a type of that provides the highest level of protection for the buyer of a property. It guarantees that the seller has clear title to the property and will defend the buyer against any claims made by third parties.
For example, if John sells his house to Jane using a general warranty deed, he is guaranteeing that he is the rightful owner of the property and that there are no liens or other claims against it. If a third party later comes forward with a claim to the property, John is responsible for defending Jane's ownership.
General warranty deeds are commonly used in real estate transactions to provide buyers with peace of mind and protection against unforeseen legal issues.
