In real estate law, a warranty deed is a form of deed used to convey fee simple title to real property. It provides assurances from the grantor that the title is clear and that the grantor has the legal right to transfer the property.
A warranty deed typically includes covenants guaranteeing that the property is free from undisclosed encumbrances and that the grantor will defend the title against lawful claims. In Oregon, it is the primary deed form used to transfer fee title to real estate.
