The more common deed in most states is the general warranty, because it establishes the ownership trail and validity of title going back to the original recorded ownership (for example, the purchase of Manhattan Island and all subsequent divisions, subdivisions and resales). Under a special warranty deed, an owner transfers property guaranteeing the quality of title only during the period of his or her ownership, leaving subsequent buyers vulnerable to prior claims.
