OpenDocumentA Wyoming special warranty deed is used to grant a person or entity a title to real estate while protecting said grantee against any third-party claims from the seller’s ownership term. Claims that were already in place before the seller gained interest in the property are not covered under the warranty, thus leaving the new owner liable for resolving pre-existing claims after the deed’s execution. Due to their limited protection, special warranty deeds are not recommended for prospective homebuyers and are instead used in cases where the seller is more risk averse, such as the conveyance of a foreclosed property.
