OpenDocumentA New Mexico special warranty deed is a real estate transfer document in which the executing party (the grantor/seller) warrants that no title issues occurred while they owned the property. With this type of deed, the party receiving property ownership (the grantee/buyer) is financially protected against title defects, so long as they can prove said defects were caused by the grantor. However, if a defect existed before the grantor acquired title rights, the grantee would be responsible for settling the encumbrance.
