OpenDocumentA Kansas general warranty deed is a document that conveys property from its current owner (the “grantor”) to a new title holder (the “grantee”) with covenants that protect the grantee against title issues. The covenants guarantee that the grantor owns the property and that its title has no liens or other encumbrances against it. By this type of deed, the grantor also promises to defend the grantee against any third-party claimants, leaving the title recipient free of liability. Warranty deeds are commonly used in conjunction with a real estate purchase to legally transfer the property to the purchaser.
