Hi,

I'm new to the board. I discovered it last night and probably read the entire REO section.

If I get a Limited or Special Warranty Deed on a bank owned property, will my title insurance be sufficient protection? What kinds of things should I be concerned about with a Limited or Special Warranty Deed?

Well cynthia; I'm not sure which state you're in, but here in TX there are two types of Warranty Deeds, General and Special. General Warranty Deeds are used when a SELLER conveys a property, either as a principle or an heir or assign. Special WDs are used when a TRUSTEE conveys, and/or coming out of a Trustee's Sale. Both are equally valid but make sure that they provide you with Title Insurance, at THEIR cost.

Thanks for the quick reply. The property is in SC. They are paying for the title insurance.

Its the type of deed normally used to convey ownership of a property. The grantor (seller) is guaranteeing (i.e., warrantying) the deed is good.

Around my area, most banks are delivering title via a Covenant Deed vs. a warranty deed.
