North Carolina Special Warranty Deed Form

A North Carolina special warranty deed is used to convey a property and protect the grantee against any title issues that occurred while the seller held title. If such issues arise, the seller must uphold the warranty and address the title defect on the seller’s behalf. If any issues appear from before the seller held title, the grantee must resolve the matter themselves.
