A Nevada grant, bargain, and sale deed is a document that transfers property with a guarantee against liens and other title encumbrances caused by the current owner (the grantor). Known in other states as a “special warranty deed,” this deed provides the new owner (the grantee) less protection than a general warranty deed, which promises a clean and unencumbered title across the entire chain of ownership.
Because a grant, bargain, and sale deed only covers the grantor’s period of ownership, the grantee assumes the risk of title issues stemming from the actions of previous owners. The limited warranty is often desirable in commercial transactions, bank foreclosures, and transfers pursuant to the administration of an estate.
