New Mexico Special Warranty Deed Form

A New Mexico special warranty deed is a legal document that transfers real estate to a buyer and warrants that any title issues arising during the seller’s ownership have been cured. The protection provided to the buyer under this document is more limited than a general warranty deed, as it does not cover defects that existed before the grantor acquired the title.
