In real estate law, a statutory warranty deed is a deed that conveys title with certain warranties implied by statute rather than expressly stated in detail. It infers that the grantor is the undisputed owner of the property, has the legal right to convey it, and will defend the title against lawful claims.
This type of deed protects the purchaser by obligating the grantor to defend the title if claims arise. If the grantor fails to do so, the new owner may defend against the claims and seek recovery from the former owner for any resulting losses.
