General Warranty Deed
The deed that gives a buyer the greatest protection, warranting the full chain of title against all defects.
A general warranty deed provides the most protection to the grantee. The grantor warrants the entire chain of title, promising to defend against title defects that arose at any point in the property's history, not only during the grantor's ownership.
This is the deed a buyer most wants to receive. It carries the full set of covenants, including the covenant of quiet enjoyment and the covenant of warranty.
