An Arkansas general warranty deed is a property conveyance instrument that provides the buyer with the promise of a clean title free of unresolved liens, easements, or encumbrances.  If an unforeseen title defect arises, the seller will be liable to defend the title on behalf of the grantee (buyer) and their heirs, regardless of when the defect originated. If the seller wishes to limit the warranty to their period of ownership, they may want to execute the special warranty deed in place of this document.
