Adobe PDFA Wisconsin special warranty deed is a document that records property conveyance and gives a limited title warranty covering the grantor’s ownership period. The grantor is not liable for title encumbrances made before they gained an interest in the property, and should any arise, are the grantee’s legal responsibility after the conveyance. As full buyer protection is not provided through a special warranty deed, these forms are not often used in residential property sales. In any case, the quality of the title can be investigated by performing a title search through the county register of deeds.
