A Utah special warranty deed is a legal instrument that transfers property with an assurance that the title has no unresolved defects since its last conveyance. Unlike a general warranty deed, this document places the responsibility of resolving any earlier title issues onto the purchaser. The seller is only responsible for defending the title against claims made under their ownership.
