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.
Special Warranty Deed. Special Warranty Deed Basics. A Special Warranty Deed is used when you're transferring real property to another and are guaranteeing that there were no defects in title that occurred during the time you owned it.
