To confuse: The American people must be totally bumfuzzled; [we] keep announcing surpluses and we keep having budget fights (Bill Clinton). [Probably bum- (alteration, perhaps influenced by bum, of bamboozle) + fuzzle (perhaps blend of fuddle fuzzy).]
A warranty deed is a type of deed where the grantor (seller) guarantees that he or she holds clear title to a piece of real estate and has a right to sell it to the grantee (buyer). This is in contrast to a quitclaim deed, where the seller does not guarantee that he or she holds title to a piece of real estate. A general warranty deed protects the grantee against title defects arising at any point in time, extending back to the property's origins. A special warranty deed protects the grantee only against title defects arising from the actions or omissions of the grantor.
There are 2 main types of deed: warranty and quitclaim. A warranty deed is one in which the seller, when transferring the title to you, warrants that he owns the property free and clear of all liens, says David Eagan, a lawyer with Eagan & Matthews PLLC in East Hampton, New York. A warranty deed is used in most sales of property. 1  The grantor is the rightful owner and has the right to transfer the title. 2  There are no outstanding claims on the property from lenders using it as collateral, or from other creditors.  The property can't be claimed by someone with a better claim to the title.
